Fashion/Clothing

Dec 10th, 2024

Q. SmileyRose, have you or your family ever worn traditional clothing from another country?

A. My family has always worn clothing related to England, westernised clothing, only. My mum used to dress in fashionable 60’s clothing,

I mostly saw my father wearing an RAF uniform or suits. If he went out, he wore tuxedos.

My mother liked the Twiggy fashion.

I have only grown up in England, and I have mostly worn classic British fashion. I love classic fashion.

My ancestors originated from the Britain & the UK before the RAJ & they were part of the British Empire, I’ve never seen photos of my grandparents etc wear anything different to what the British wore, even whilst living abroad.

I lived in Cyprus for 3yrs, I only wore British clothing.

The olour clothes I like to wear are the colours I like only. I am not royalty, I can wear whatever colour I like. I usually buy H
Grief Can Affect People In So Many Different Ways

Dec 10th, 2024

Today, I found myself overwhelmed by a wave of emotions, a tearful moment that caught me off guard.

It’s that heart-wrenching realisation that I may never see someone again—their absence looming like a heavy shadow. I hold their memory close, cherishing every shared laugh and comforting glance.

The ache of missing their companionship cuts deep, a painful reminder of what once was.

Death feels like a relentless tormentor, a cruel thief that steals our loved ones and leaves us grappling with a void that can never truly be filled.

Grief can affect people in so many different ways.

“All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Dec 8th, 2024

Me a few Christmas’ Ago

Do you recall the joy and excitement of your young children as they ran into their bedroom on Christmas morning, eagerly asking, “Has he been yet?” In response, you would playfully inquire, “Who?” to which they would joyfully shout, “Santa!” while jumping on the bed. It was such a heartwarming moment that made me want to gather them in my arms and hurry them downstairs to open their presents.

Those were truly wonderful days, and they remain fond memories that I will always cherish.

Ps Aww, one of my favourite memories is when Catherine, not so long ago, decorated a box with Christmas wrapping paper, and she rang my doorbell on Christmas morning, whilst wearing the box and shouting “surpremise!” It was one of the best Christmas presents ever. 🙂
White Christmas

I loved slinging this song. I felt as if I was singing along with my father. It was a favourite Christmas song, my father often used to sing at Christmas time. He had a base voice, and it sounded a bit like Bing. 😄

A Bit Over The Top

Dec 7th, 2024

Why is it that every time I turn on the TV, I see a ton of black and white or brown and white couples? I live in England, and yeah, I have a brown and white background, but I think it can be a bit much watching TV sometimes since England is a predominantly white country. I’m all for balance on the TV, but I do not go over the top with anything unrealistic. Most of my friends are blonde, and I’m a brunette with slightly darker skin. My ex was white British. Most of our friends were white British.

One of my daughters is fair haired, and the other is brunette. One takes after me, and the other takes after my ex, who was fair haired and blue-eyed. I love both of our daughters. I gave birth to both of them!

I’m not racist because I come from a brown and white background.
Time To Break These Chains And Set You Free

Dec 7th, 2024

You vowed to nurture our love, to keep that beautiful outlook alive, and together, we declared we would never turn our backs on one another. Yet, in these recent weeks, I’ve felt our love slowly slipping through my fingers like grains of sand. The weight of this realization crushes me; I’m shattered by the heartbreak that now clouds my heart. It aches painfully, feeling torn in two. All I ever longed for was a blissful “happily ever after,” just you and me against the world. I yearn to love you fiercely, but your walls have grown so tall, keeping me at bay. Now I understand—it’s time for me to break these chains and set you free. To free you from my love is the hardest thing I have ever done, but living in a world where I can’t be with you, is harder.

Goodbye, my love. I hope that when you look back, you will know that there was never a day I did not love you with all of my heart. Be happy.
