Oslo.

As I lay here at 3 am with him in my arms, I reflect on our time together.

The lowest of lows. The highest of highs. The reason I got out of bed and off the couch. When my heart was shattered, your little paws where the ones that were there and most importantly picked me up.

I never truly understood the attachment to animals until I met him; our souls matched.

The pain of leaving you, is so strong. I will never forget you. I will always love you.

As tears, fall down my face I beg you to never forget your mummy.

I remember the moment when I hit rock bottom, crying on the floor of the shower and you just watching me, making sure that I was protected.

That time, you hissed at a boy I slept with so he left half way through the night.

The times where you would literally jump in the shower with me.

But most importantly, the times where I would ball my heart out and you would come running down to my bedroom and cuddle me all night.

You came into my life for a reason and I am so blessed for that reason only, Oslo.

My son. My baby. My saviour. The reason I survived the break up.

I, thank you. Thank you for the cuddles. Thank you for the comfort. Thank you for the memories.

You will never be forgotten and you’ll forever be in my heart and soul.

As I hand you over to your new mummy, please remember me.

Love, Chloe x

Why my mum is the way she is..

My mum. Although she has caused me more pain than anyone. I can see through it. A quote I live by for myself is “Don’t allow history to repeat itself” In her case, history did repeat itself. Her childhood was horrible, so she decided to make mine just as worse. Which I can understand, as hard as it is.

How my parent treated me as a child is not a reflection of who I am, It’s a reflection of her childhood experiences.

In all my wounded states in life, all I look for is her love. Even unaware that I am doing it at times.

Pshycologists say that, this is because we are operating from the lense of our inner child. The inner child believes a parent is our super human. The inner child still idolises the parent and protects themselves around any reality that parent might be revealed in a way that’s hurtful.

Throughout my life, I have met people with emotionally abusive parents, physically abusive parents, psychiatric abusive parents and even sexually abusive parents. And regardless of age. It is painful.

As we get older we see our parents of what they truely are. I now know who my mum is. She is a flawed human being. Which wasn’t entirely her fault. She was hurt as a child. Not nurtured. Not loved. No support. She then passed that down to me. She protected me against others but all I needed was protection against her and her past.

Anyway, Mum I know you’ve been hurt and your whole 60 years you never was able to get the therapy you needed. But the reason my mum is the way she is today is because she was hurt too and didn’t have the capacity to grow from what happened to her.

I also want to say as flawed as my mum is, she has the side that makes me love her. The funny side. The three seconds I saw in an hour of pain.

If you can relate, let me know.

Love always,

Wasting your life

Imagine waking up in 50 years and thinking you’ve wasted you life.. Working a job you hate and not living a happy and joyful life? This not only can make you feel like you’ve lost your purpose in life, but it can also make you feel suffocated as every minute that goes by is getting closer to the end.

If you’re sitting in an accountant job you hate or you feel like you are not chasing your dreams, it’s time to change your life. No dream is too big for you to complete. Although circumstances like finances and locations can get in the way instantly fighting for that dream, do something day by day to get closer and closer to that dream.

Since I was a little girl, my two dreams were always ‘Traveling & being a child protective officer” each day i am getting closer and closer to my dream. At the end of this year, i would have completed my school life and to celebrate I will be going on a journey to discover myself, my passions and my purpose. My plans after I get back are unclear but one thing I know for certain is that I’ll never give up on my dream of helping children in unfortunate circumstances.

In saying this, I hope to not get overly caught up in following my dreams, as I will allow myself to change based on the journey my life takes me on. You can allow yourself to this too. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

This is abit of a random topic today but I hope my words can help you to change your way of life or even appreciate everything you’re doing. You create your destiny. You are in charge.

Talk soon, Chlo x
