It would mean a great deal if you could follow my new account where I will be talking about the shock of losing my mother suddenly, sepsis and dealing with grief. I also want to be able to start fresh with my writing.

(My first ever attempt at poetry!) I am a girl. The clothes I wear, doesn’t give you permission to stare. They aren’t an invitation for you to touch, am I really asking for too much? I am a girl.

Dear 13 year old me. I’m 21 now, remember when you couldn’t wait to get to this age? Why were you in such a rush to grow up? After all it is nothing like you expected.

Number 1, I will always be there for you, whatever happens. I’ve always dreamt of having a close relationship with any child I may be blessed with. I want you to be able to come to me and tell me any troubles you…

It can be so simple and it can be really complicated, it’s so different to each person but can turn the strongest of people into weak giggling messes.However the notion of love is changing. Apart from the fact that LGBT community is becoming vastly more accepted, and rightly so. The freedom to love who ever the heck you want with out our…
