Heat of the moment

Unfortunately last week in London things went very, very wrong. The riots have left their mark through businesses that  have been ruined, homes that have been destroyed and the lives that have been lost for something that didn't need to happen.





Riots in London lasted four days

On Saturday I was at work largely unaware of all that was going on. Only in the early hours of Monday morning I got a BB broadcast message saying that shops in Ealing (an area close to me) where indeed getting smashed.

All day Monday was spent with me flicking between BBC news and Sky news, in all honesty it was more shock than anything else. It came and spread so fast.  Watching the different areas getting ruined, the new problems being created, buildings just being lit on fire, shops that had just been smashed into. A JD sports shop that was all open with people just walking in, and out with stuff...it was surreal.

The image of the furniture store in Croydan is not a nice one. It was on fire for a long time, watching it get worse came with a feeling of disbelief.

 Prayers to everyone who got caught up in these riots, now including Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.

Unperfecto

When I was younger it's like I wanted the wrong things. I know nothings wrong with wanting and getting all the achievements and the money, I mean getting money is fun of course, I get that :D

 At the end of the day life is so much more than that though. To me it's about holding yourself together when you have reasons to fall part. Not being perfect, that to me is amazing.

 Not being perfect and being absolutely fine with that, following what you think is right because you believe it's right. Sometimes its important to realize when you're wrong.

I never want to stop learning new things, you can always better yourself. It's like the sky's the limit to how much we can grow.

I don't want to ever 'get there'. I want to get to many different places, not just one main place.It's not about opinions of other people.  I'm sooo not perfect but who cares?

I would rather care about things that matter, being the best person I can be, that way you can actually give back.

Life is full of tests, why not learn from the failures?
