My Take: I wrote the journalling and then got stuck on what to actually use to scrap this with. I tried more kits than I care to admit, before I decided on this one. Patterned paper is one of the hardest things for me to use, I feel intimidated by them. So this layout really pushed me out of my comfort zone, but I am quite pleased with the finished result. But I might experiment with a few tiny tweaks on it like changing the font I have used for the title, but I was in a hurry last night, and I just wanted to get it done and uploaded.

Journalling reads: I often feel like I have become a freak of nature. I cry at the silliest of things. It’s unpredictable exactly what will trigger tears on any given day. Sure I cry at the usual things like friends and family being ill or in pain, I cry when Lukas get’s hurt, I cry when people I love die. But I also cry when complete strangers are suffering, I cry at the news on the T.V, I cry at songs on the radio and adverts on television, I cry at poetry andI cry at things I read online. Sometimes I cry because the pain is just too bad to bear. I cry because I feel so overwhelmed by everything I feel. It never used to be like this. I used to be the one who was in control. I chose when I shed tears. I hate how much power my emotions have over my life, but nothing I have tried has seemed to help. I can only wipe up the tears as they come, find comfortin the fact that I am only human and hope that one day I will be the one who is in charge again.
