Me again.. Since the last time I wrote to you, a lot has happened. I’ve relocated to a cute flat that’s 8mins walk to the beach and I’ve been the most stress-free, anxious-free person that I’ve been for years. Sometimes, circumstances; a relationship, job, location etc. may not work out. Or one may realise that “this isn’t for me”. It’s not the end of the world. Move on, find something else, and hope it works. Hope is my only constant.

- My name is Olivia and I’m from Bournemouth. I currently work at Urban Reef, Boscombe while studying psychology with forensic investigation at Bournemouth University. Initially, I studied forensic investigation. I enjoyed the forensics part of it but hated how science-heavy it was so dropped it and went on to work. Now at 28, I’ve decided to go back to University. Outside of work and studies, I love video games, dogs and food :)

It's been a struggling few years with anxiety and panic attacks. Never knew I'd be faced with something I couldn't defeat but with God, all things are possible. Always been the carefree type with not a worry in the world but speaking to friends, there seems to be a trend as you get older. I find it fascinating that the world appeared so different as a youth. Thankfully, I enjoyed my younger years, I still do but with a bit more care for my mental and physical health. I never knew what I wanted out of life and it took a while to figure it all out. If you haven't yet discovered, just enjoy the journey

Iahras - I was born ‘n’ bred in Cornwall! After my first year in College studying Computer Science, I learnt that I hate academics, regardless of how much I loved the subject. I went from making weekly video projects with friends to not touching a camera in the 5 years since finishing college. Photography though has been self-taught and it’s worked pretty well for me. Anywhere that has a different scenery or cool architecture gets my interest! I'm Autistic, diagnosed with Asperger's specifically. So I tend to struggle with things that hold my attention - I hear/ see something and become hyper-fixated, throwing whatever I need to fuel the obsession and finally losing interest halfway through it. That said, teaching is something I've always loved, so mixing that with Language, or even photography is something I've considered. Outside of that, my general life goal is to gain a level of proficiency in as many skills as I possibly can, that will allow me to be able to make a living. I know I'm mega young at 23, so I can expect plenty of things to crop up in the future.

And just like that, years have passed; I haven’t posted or visited social media much. I have, in the past, had easier times and encouraged others to live bravely. This time, I felt like I’ve faltered. I wasn’t able to take my own advice and in some ways felt like I’ve failed. What I’ve learnt; even the toughest cookie can be broken, that mental health issues can affect anyone and most importantly, to be tirelessly empathetic to others. I am back xoxo 📸 🙏🏽. See profile for supporting video. Many thanks, Sathya

I hope you’re keeping safe in these perilous times that we’re facing. I just had a positive story to share so thought I’d do so and not talk about that thing(you know?). Full disclosure, this was taken before we were told to stay at home and I am indeed practicing social distancing and not talking to any of my friends. I’m allowed to leave the house once a day for some exercise so if you see me on my daily run, please don’t wave and say hi. Take care for now – try and stay positive and keep smiling while we get through this(didn’t I just say I won’t talk about you know who?).

Sathya - I was born and grew up in , Tamil Nadu, . My parents are very ambitious so gave up everything so I can have it all. They saw big things for their children and lived a life not for themselves but for us. Back home, everyone’s objective is to become either a doctor or engineer, everything else is considered mediocre; I studied to be an engineer. I left home at 21 and had an internship at Honeywell but wanted to come to London to do a master’s degree. All my friends were going to New York but I’ve always been the person to want the best and not just do what everyone else does, so I came here to London. I then got a job as an analyst at a start-up company that worked with major finance firms – It was the dream job. I then met Vanessa, who is my now wife. After working at that company for 4 years, I quit my job and I’m now pursuing freelance photography. @ Brick Lane

So, I’ve always been the free-spirited, cheerful bunny but it was just over a year ago when I decided to rein it in and stay focused. I felt, at the time, that it was the right thing to do if I were to survive this rocky road as a freelancer. I did see the fruits of my labour and sacrifices. However, it brought me to a secluded, dark place, full of doubt, anxiety and mild depression. Bewildered, I thought, what is happening? Work is going well, I’m travelling and seeing places but something is missing. It was when I made connections or caught up with friends, I remembered the importance but keeping the balance is vital. Another thing that I noticed in the midst of it, is to find joy that already exists in me and enjoy life. We have too much to be joyful of but we give in to fret. James 1: 2-3 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.”

Martina - I was born in Milano but grew up in a very small village in the countryside until the age of 18 when I started travelling around Europe for work. I studied design but in the end, I chose to follow my passion for cooking. So I became a Chef. After many positive experiences and after living in 4 different countries, I decided to come back to Milano but hey, in life, you never know. I think that kindness is the most powerful weapon and giving good karma brings good karma in return. I don't have plans - I enjoy my life to the fullest, day by day. I've learned not to make long-term plans because anything can happen. It all depends on what life gives you at that moment. I’m just going with the flow. I believe in good energies. Next stop, I'm off to Sri Lanka for a road trip. So Carpe Diem. ,

I really love travelling! It gives me, like most people, a real buzz; a sense of awareness of different cultures, flavours etc. Recently, my friend asked me, what are my most favourite places I’ve visited. When asked this question, I always think of the people and the human connections I made. Not even the great pyramids and tropical beaches brings me back to a place. It’s that moment when I sat and drank tea or ate fish that a local cooked. Adventures don’t have to be thousands of miles away though, it can be the next town which is just a bus ride away(or in your own town) where you can connect with another human, you never know.
Noureddine – I learnt English from watching movies like game of Thrones and other English movies although I was born and grew up in the desert. It’s about an hour away from Essaouira; I came to Essaouira because of the cats in the city. I just love them so I look after the stray cats and their kittens. I’ve done all sorts of things including acting in a few movies, selling jewellery here and desert tours under the name Prince of Desert.

“In spiritual winters, our fullness is thinned so that, undistracted by our giftings, we can focus upon our character” ~ . This winter refers to the times when we retreat. Whether unwillingly or by choice, when we enter a period of nothing, this fruitlessness can easily be mistaken for failure. In fact, in this period, we rest, transition and prepare ourself for new growth.
Reef - I served in the army for 11 years - Afghanistan and Iraq. It was tough out there but my troops protected the women and children. The men knew that we would not shoot them so they used them as a shield. After I served, it was difficult; the government does nothing for us and we are left to fend for ourselves. I rented a place then couldn’t afford rent anymore so asked them for help. They said that I have to wait until I am completely out of money, then they will put me in a shelter and give me some money until I find work. I then ended up on the streets for a while until the paperwork went through. When I finally found work, 3/4 of the money came out for rent, then they took most of the rest as repayment. I am now working again. Odd hours but I’m trying to do what I can to get back on my feet.

Presenting ourselves as who we truly are can be a real struggle. Some of us stand our ground and some of us adapt. I’ve always been seen as a people pleaser; for the most part, I do try and be who I am. As for the assertive and unwavering, I have full respect of. As long as we don’t hurt others along the way of course…
Faima – I’m from Bangladesh originally. Grew up and studied in East London and spent pretty much all of my time there. Then when I graduated from University I found it really tough to integrate because in the community where I lived, it was predominantly Asian and Black people and my friendships were mainly minorities and I am very used to that. Since I stepped out and started working in the big city, I’ve found the socialising aspect quite difficult especially because I’m Muslim and I don’t drink and it was hard realising how the world works; especially in the UK because of the pub culture. In the long run I do worry about missing out on making friends and often think “should I just go and drink orange juice?” but at the same time, I don’t feel comfortable with it, so I just don’t go. With my style also, I feel like I’m in the middle ground of what you’d expect from the typical Muslim but I do pray and don’t drink alcohol, nor eat pork and most importantly, a Muslim although at the moment, I just don’t wear a head scarf. I believe in representing your personality through your style, so this is me now

I’m touched by honesty. None of us are perfect as we were all born with flaws. Yes, we make choices along the way that can make us in a worse off position but still, it doesn’t make another person any better than us. In case you’re wondering, I did give him money for beer. I met this gentleman on my trip to Poland. If you’re curious, do check the blog(photo story) link in my bio.

Andrew – I’m originally from , but now I live on the streets of Kraków. I’ve been living on the street for 25yrs now. I’ve never been married but have one daughter. I’m not with the mother of the child because of a conflict I had with her mother – you know how the mothers like to get involved? I stopped drinking for a while when my child was born but then when the problems started, I just went straight back to the bottle. My mom and dad are dead and now I only have a sister but I’m not really in touch with her; I had conflict with her as well..
