If you are wrong, own up to what you didn't do right....that's how you learn and earn respect...and it is also important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes...
We need to learn from our errors and move on...
But, don't just take the blame for something you didn't do, in order not to upset other people...respect yourself as well as others...♥♥♥

🧡 World Cancer Day is a time to stand together in support, awareness, and hope.

A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming for the person and their loved ones and raises questions about the future— what often isn't spoken about is the impact on a person's fertility. Each year, thousands of people in the UK preserve their fertility before undergoing cancer treatment, ensuring they have options when the time is right.

TFP Fertility works closely with our local NHS trust to preserve fertility for oncology patients during such a challenging time. Our expert team works quickly and compassionately to ensure treatment is provided rapidly and doesn't impact the person's cancer treatment timing.

If you or someone you know is facing this decision, know you are not alone, and teams like the ones you'll find in a TFP Fertility clinic are here to support you.

Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "The hardest lesson I’ve had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how shattered I feel inside."

This truth is both raw and universal. Life doesn’t pause when our hearts are heavy, our minds are fractured, or our spirits feel like they’re unraveling. It keeps moving—unrelenting, unapologetic—demanding that we move with it. There’s no time to stop, no pause for repair, no moment of stillness where we can gently piece ourselves back together. The world doesn’t wait, even when we need it to.

What makes this even harder is that no one really prepares us for it. As children, we grow up on a steady diet of stories filled with happy endings, tales of redemption and triumph where everything always falls into place. But adulthood strips away those comforting narratives. Instead, it reveals a harsh truth: survival isn’t glamorous or inspiring most of the time. It’s wearing a mask of strength when you’re falling apart inside. It’s showing up when all you want is to retreat. It’s choosing to move forward, step by painful step, when your heart begs for rest.

And yet, we endure. That’s the miracle of being human—we endure. Somewhere in the depths of our pain, we find reserves of strength we didn’t know we possessed. We learn to hold space for ourselves, to be the comfort we crave, to whisper words of hope when no one else does. Over time, we realize that resilience isn’t loud or grandiose; it’s a quiet defiance, a refusal to let life’s weight crush us entirely.

Yes, it’s messy. Yes, it’s exhausting. And yes, there are days when it feels almost impossible to take another step. But even then, we move forward. Each tiny step is proof of our resilience, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we’re still fighting, still refusing to give up. That fight—that courage—is the quiet miracle of survival.

Advice for everyone in these worrying and unsettling times that we seem to find ourselves in at the moment...
Hug everyone you love a lot tighter...
Never leave someone in an argument...
Say I love you way too much...
Take a lot of pictures with the ones you love...as you never know when it'll be the last time you see them...
So don't take anything or anyone you have for granted...because life can change in the blink of an eye and we shouldn't take a second for granted...♥♥♥

How many times have you thought about doing something...buying something...meeting someone and your gut instinct has been not to?...
Then when you go against your intuition...it all goes horribly wrong and you realise you should have listened to your gut instinct after all!....
It's not always right...but even if it just makes you stop and think about what you are about to embark on before you do...then that's better than ignoring it altogether...♥♥♥

We’re campaigning to inform members of the public, commissioners of mental health support services and the government about the importance of human connection in therapy.

And the wailing matters… it is holy. It is cleansing.

I have long trained myself to accept what is l, but hope for what isn’t. I have long trained myself to remember, control is an illusion. I have long trained myself to find the bridge between despair and peace. That finding is all I have to give. I don’t have answers to any of it. But I know peace begins with ourselves. I know we can do hard things. And I know we will come through whatever we face.

Love to anyone who needs it tonight. ❤️

To my fellow bereaved ;

I see you. Others may not, but I do .
I understand the endless ache inside
your chest .
The nights you lay awake crying
The brave face you put on for the world
I see you and I am so proud
of the way you carry on,
despite not wanting to .
You wake every morning with a
broken heart yet
You hold your head up and
face the world .
I see you and your brave soul ...
