I always find it weird looking at older pictures, there is a lot I don’t remember or recognise yet still a lot that I know I have of the long time ago me. This was taken over 15 years ago. My punk years, back when punk meant being a punk and not a whinny little kid craving acceptance.

I had a lot of ups and downs in my life over the years and there are a lot of things I wish had gone differently. But then it might not have led me to where I am today and I kind of like the me today. So let’s remember to be grateful no matter what we have gone through because we still have time to change and improve upon ourselves.

I wish you all love and compassion and I hope you all can show it to each other. Lead your life for you and the ones around you first and not for the faceless hatemongers on social media. Things will get better the more we stay together.
