My name is Cally and I’m a children’s book illustrator based on the beautiful Northumberland coast. I’ve been working in children’s publishing for many years, it truly is a dream job. When I’m not illustrating books I enjoy walking on the beach with my dog (who regularly features in my work!), playing the ukulele at folk nights and I especially enjoy practicing yoga.

I designed my own little yoga girl and started a sketchbook of poses and positive messages to keep me feeling inspired and content after losing a very close member of my family. I now enjoy regularly posting pictures of her on my Instagram page. If others like her too then that’s a lovely bonus. It feels nice knowing that I might be able to spread thoughts of happiness, self-care and joy of life!

    I can’t find much of a way to make this sad. And to people that downvoted me. It’s not really my fault the I’m able to make these happy quotes sad. I’ve just realized what life really is about sooner then I was supposed to.

    It's because you are looking for the negativity. You are not looking for the brighter side. Everything has a balance between good and bad, it is up to you to see both of these sides. Life is not only sad, it is beautiful. There are many sides to it and in my opinion, you should observer all of them, not just the negative aspects, even if it seems like that is all there is. You will know what life really is about when you see everything.

    Honestly, Tia, what is the point of all these negative comments? What are you trying to accomplish? The only logical thing that I can think of is that you want some sort of recognition from us (other viewers) to validate how your feeling and you think you can't stop but you really can. It's a sign of immense immaturity to post this kind of thing on someone's inspiration page when you know everyone reading this page is here to feel a little better about themselves or just feel better about life in general. The page is literally titled "Positive Messages To Remind Myself Of Self-Love And Self-Care" and you are just foaming at the mouth begging for attention. Dude, just stop. Please. So everyone else here can enjoy seeing the posts we came here to see, not some stupid comments about why everything this grieving human stands for is wrong.

    For anyone wondering: Tia has -179 points last time I checked. I think as a group, we succeeded in reaching our end goal: make the hateful people of the world reflect on their own actions. This thread not only made me realize the importance of self-love and taking time to make yourself happy, but it also made me realize that some people just don't want to be happy.

    Or it’s just that they can’t be happy. Bc of ppl around them. I don’t mean any of the other pandas on here. I mean my mother, father. They both call me a dumb b*. Last time my mom got mad at me she was throwing s**t at me, and that was bc the dogs peed in the floor while I was at work (im16 and I don’t get the money they use it to buy weed and achohol) Then there is school bullies. That day I posted all of this is when my dad gave me a black eye. I was so mad. And I couldn’t take my anger out on anything besides this. These comments are how I feel about life since I was 6 I have gotten happier since I’m in foster now but I’ll never forget not to trust anyone. My parents at home would beat me, then put makeup on me and act like I was the best person ever. Could never forgive them and even more sad could never forget what they did. But that doesn’t mean I can’t try to be happy I guess.
