Graffiti upcycled desk

Since before we moved into our new house two and a half years go my boy has been on about having a zombie themed bedroom. I thought this was a fab idea and quickly started to transform my husband’s old heavy metal t-shirts into wall art….. But apparently they were too scary and gave the boy nightmares.

Me 1 Fibro 0

Although I agree with the idea that we shouldn’t dwell on the past, and we should be focused on the now to get a better future, I also believe it’s the events of my past that have made me who I am. I try to live regretting nothing, these life events are all the things that have made me stronger. The past is a life lessons moulding me into who I am today.
