I just went throught my nan's photo collection of literally hundreds of photos.It realy made me reminice about everything from my grandpa, my big sister Samantha and my twin Rebecca (god rest their souls) to mad xmas peroformances where i would grab a mic and thats all it would take to start a party. Then theres the holidays. Millions of them, if theres one thing my family love thats holidays, hell we've just booked another for this month! But seriously we owned an apartment in spain when i was a a kid and we would regularly fly out. When i was 4 the family fell apart over the death of my grandpa, we sold the holiday apartment, my mom and dad divorced, my mom dragged me off to Reading to start over. She realy loved my dad and was completley heartbroken, she still is well over 10 years (and another marriage) on. I still saw the family for our holidays with my newborn half brother and stepmom replacing my mom on the trips. My mom however would take me to exotic places far and wide like tunisia and jamacia so in a way i had the best of both worlds with two christmases and two birthdays every year.
Life wasnt easy for me but in every one of these pictures im smiling, singing, dancing, hugging people and a little blonde hair blue eyed girl with the world at her feet. I dont have any regrets, i never sit and think why me, or what if, because lifes too short.
Here i am today sat at my Laptop in the same house a lot of these pictures were taken (My nans) Singing along to life is a rollercoaster, Livin la vida loca and i made it through the rain with my red hair and bright green eyes (slightly wondering how that happened) but just generally enjoying this rollercoaster life. I can sleep when im dead.
