All in depresion and anxiety

Chapter 27 : Patience Is A Virtue

‘How contrasting’, I thought, to the day that Twat Face was experiencing.  From what I have heard, they have now informed their children, (the children are in their fifties, and they didn’t tell them until after Christmas as they didn’t want to spoil it… bless) and they had the humiliating prospect of standing in court.  They will have been dreading this as long as I have been willing it to come.  They will want it behind them as much as me, but for very different reasons I should think.  I want to begin a new life, a happy life without ‘The Shadow’, my dark secret that follows me everywhere, even across the seas.

Ruby’s Going Home With Hobbies

Hobbies are important to your well being.  It is important to take some time out to do something that you enjoy.  Do something that is for you, and not for someone else.  Whatever it is, if you enjoy it, do it.  It gives you purpose and a reason; it can be therapeutic, distracting and satisfying.  The first I have is photography, something that I can’t believe took me so long to find, and the second is knitting, which I found years before I thought I would.

If someone were to mention that ‘Sophie’s Choice’ was on, she would declare her disinterest, stating that she had lived it, so didn’t need to watch it.  I never understood her reluctance until this trip.
We spent a day visiting the concentration camps of Auschwitz, and Auschwitz, Birkenau.  If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it.  It’s certainly not Disney Land, it isn’t happy, there are no birds singing, but it reminds you of the cruelty that humans are capable of.
