Tuesday, June 30th - 12:49am. Dear Diary, The past weekend has been incredible, I travelled to Nottingham with some of my bestfriends to see Hometown, The Tide, Union J and The Vamps who were all absolutely amazing, as always. I also filmed a new video whilst on my travels which will be available soon. Monday, June 29th was a good day for me. I woke up feeling so refreshed. I felt extremely good about myself - I looked good too. I felt more confident than I have done previously. I hope this continues. I also took the time to look at flats/apartments for myself as I feel the time has come for me to move onto the next chapter in my life and start my twenties as an individual (yes, I'm 20 in July!). I feel as though my teenage years have been rather successful, with articles of mine being published in magazines, to writing for Maximum Pop!, having my writing recognised in America and signing an American manager, to my own website and building the confidence to upload videos to YouTube. All of which I'm very proud of and I cannot wait to see what the next decade has waiting for me. It's no secret that I have battled with an eating disorder these past few years and I can now say, I am stronger than I have ever been and feel as though I'm at a stage in my life where I am healthy & putting weight on each little bit at a time - which I am extremely comfortable with. I really want to continue doing these "Dear Diary" posts because I feel as though they're a great way to express yourself. Surround yourself with people who make you feel positive. Peace. Daniel

February 20th, 2015 - 10:27pm I'm lying here in bed feeling relieved. Relieved of worry and stress. Today, I had to go to the hospital to have a few tests on things that could've potentially been life threatening - they got the all clear. I'm safe. However, I may be relieved of worry and the stress caused by these tests, but, the question is still going through my mind "what if?" What if the results hadn't been so positive? I guess that's an answer I will never know, thankfully. Regardless of this mornings appointment, I spent the rest of the morning with my Aunty, shopping an then spent the afternoon with my baby cousin and it made me realise just how precious life is. Grab every moment with both hands and never let things get on top of you - always share your feelings. A problem shared is a problem halved. I'm just about to go to sleep, I wonder what I'll dream of? Or what tomorrow will bring? Only time will tell. Goodnight. 💙

I don't care if you find it "disgusting" that Bruce Jenner is transitioning into a woman. Leave him alone, it's taken him 65 years to finally announce it and I bet he's happy now instead of acting his whole life. Regardless of what he does, I will always look up to Bruce, as a legend and as a man. He created Olympic history and has been such a good father to his 9 children (4 step children). If I'm half the Father he is, I will be happy. Leave him alone and let him live his own life.
