Firstly, I don’t know how you found this page but thank you for popping in.

I am nobody special. Just an average girl from the outside. But what people sense when they first meet me is strength, power and comfort, because that’s who I am. That’s who I’ve become.

My idea for this blog started when I downloaded the ‘timehop’ app on my phone which displayed my Facebook status’ over the past five years. One that caught my attention was ‘dearest mother, I would like us to go one day without trying to rip each other’s throats out, just one.’

When I wasn’t running away from home, wagging school, drinking cheap vodka at the skate park and having sex with the first of my many ex lovers, I was crying in my room wanting to die.

How is it that in five short years the girl who most people suspected would be pregnant or on heroin completely transformed into an elegant woman with a great job and great relationship with my family? That’s what I’m trying to dive into. By exploring the various issues that have occurred and the lessons I learnt, I would like to pass on my wisdom and strength to you.

I want to be the woman I needed when I was fourteen.
