A pure joy memory you have to reflect on

Sometimes in my brain it gets difficult to find any positives.

I don’t get depressed,

It just feels really empty.

When that happens, I try to find what my sister calls “pure joy moments”.

Times that were complete happiness, no matter how short.

I remember in April when I went to visit my son.

I hadn’t seen him in a little while and he was getting older,

I was nervous he’d be nervous around me.

My sister was also with me and had seen him more recently than I had.

We were waiting at a park to meet them,

When they pulled up my son came bursting out of the car.

He came running toward my sister and I.

For a second I thought that he was running to see my sister, but he came straight to me and have me the biggest hug.

I have that.

It was just absolute happiness.

What do you have in your mental bank that was a moment of joy?

When i came back to UK from USA. I had been living in a board and care out there for 3 years. I remember walking into my mums house…the first proper home id walked into in 3 years. It was so emotional in a good way. And just being able to have my own bedroom again and not worry about things getting stolen. It was so good.

I had a crush on a minor bigshot and ran into him at a dance/bar. He was spinning me around on the dance floor. But he was too shallow. I don’t really have many good positive memories.
