This month is suicide prevention month as many of my close family and friends know I have tryed many of times to take my own life and have lost family members due to suicide so it's something that hits close to home

I'm just putting it out there if anyone ever feels they need a chat my messager is always open and I'll always have a listening ear as some times that's all anyone is in need of a bit of compensation now days goes a long way I have put some pics underneath this post that some people may find interesting or helpful sending much love, light and positivity to you all A.A ♥️🌈

Its nearly been a year since we stopped putting events here at FFI who would like to see a one time event back on for the summer

If people could leave a comment so I can get a feel if it would be worth doing as it would take some time to organise and get things in to place 🙂 🌈♥️🤗🦄

If Christmas is hard,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.

The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.

If this is a time,
When you’re struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters, is you.

There’s no need to be merry,
There’s no need to bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be alright.

I seen a homeless guy at Popeyes and I gave him some loose ones in my pocket..and he said "thank you"...so I asked him.."how did you get to this point?"..he looked up, smiled and said "SHOWING LOVE"...I asked... "what do you mean?"...he said I went thru my whole life making sure everyone else was ok no matter what was going right or wrong in my life I did for others..I never wanted to see others go without..I asked "do you regret it?"...he said no it just hurt me to my soul that the very ppl I gave the shirt off my back to... wouldn't give me a sleeve off that same shirt when I was in need...he said..its better to build your own house and invite someone in for shelter...then to hand them your bricks while you building yours..cause if you keep handing them bricks from the house that you suppose to be building for you...you will turn around 1 day and that spot where you have planned to build your house will be a empty lot..then you are the one thats looking for bricks.

When you fall inlove you should leave a space for disappointment 💔
Because in this generation finding someone with pure intention is rare 😥💔
We often fall inlove with people who don't know the meaning of love 💔
People who are broken 💔
People who are not over to their Ex's💔
People who think when you fall inlove with a broken heart you can heal 💔
People who think that when you want to forget about someone you love,you should meet someone new💔
People who don't know what they want in life 💔
People who are not matured 💔
People who have pride 💔
You know when you're broken you need to heal so that when you meet the right person you know how to treat that person
Sometimes finding really love is hard 😔
Because we go for beauty 🥺
We all know that beauty can fade away 😔 You have to leave with a character of a person ❤
