Hey everyone,

Today has been a very busy day. I managed to get to the gym and I am very proud of myself. Today last year I was in a hospital room with my beloved father, waiting for him to have an OGD- which was cancelled despite him fasting all day.

One of the downfalls of having a very good memory, is having a very good memory of the past and the thoughts you do not want to recall. I want to remember every detail about my father- the good and the not so good, but it also means it hurts so much when I think of the suffering he went through.

I guess it is a blessing and a curse to feel things such deeply, and this has always been the curse for me. Coincidently, my neighbour/ friend messaged me saying such a similar thing- she said the following:

‘Why are we given such deep emotions, it’s so crippling at times.’

This really resonated with me. Emotions and your own mind can really cripple you. We actually spend so much time in our own minds so let’s make it a nice place!

Back to doing my university assignment and then need to get an early night for work tomorrow!

Hope everyone has a good evening 🙂

With love,

Amina xo
