"The Beauty Therapy course comment" - Another one about my Aunty.

Tweet

Hey! I know I'm a little bit behind with my notifications. Hoping to get them all done tonight! Just wanted to quickly tell you another Aunty story as I seem to be on a roll with her at the moment. Only because, like I said, she has recently made me snap so just wanted to share this story with you also. About 4-5 years ago, I enrolled in a Beauty Therapy course to learn make up, pedicures / manicures, facials etc. I was enjoying it but I was feel anxiety being around people and lacking motivation due to depression. There were a lot of days where I would catch a bus there, ( was about a 10 minute bus ride there ) but as soon as I arrived, I didn't want to go to class so caught a bus back home. I was dealing with it pretty badly so I dropped out. Costed me a bit over $4000 but I just couldn't get my head straight. Sucks too because I was doing really well! So one night, my dad, brother, Aunty and 2 of my cousins and I went out to dinner. I forget why. Probably just a random get together. Just as we finished looking at the menus, my Aunty says to me "So what have you been up to?" I told her that I was considering doing another type of Beauty course. Her reply was "You probably won't finish that either." This comment was not full of concern. In fact, even if it was, which it wasn't because she was being a smart ass, it shouldn't have been said. That is just kicking me while I was down. Or better yet, kicking me down while I was clearly trying to get back up! Some time after that I enrolled in a Nail Technology course. I had the same issues. BUT this time I only missed 4 days where I caught a bus and 2 trains to get there. ( it was over 1 hour away from me ) but I managed to pass. I studied hard and did all the homework so even though I missed some days, I still got my Nail Technology certificate. So I am happy I did that. But her comments are comments that either kick me while I am down or motivate me but either way, things like that shouldn't be said!
