Everyone holds concepts of who they think other people are. Here are 12 things you probably don't know about me:
1) I've been part of a twin study ever since I was born
2) I did ballet for 10 years from 3 to 13
3) When I was 4 I touched tongues with my friend in the playground tent to see what it felt like
4) At age 7 a girl in my class kissed me behind the classroom door
5) When I was 8 I used to imagine my headteacher naked in assembly
6) At 12 I dreamt my English teacher raped me
7) When I was 13 I fell for my Geography teacher
8) I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder when I was 16
9) I fell for my 58 year old female Psychology teacher when I was 17 & my 56 year old female counsellor more recently
10) 2 1/2 weeks ago my homeless ex boyfriend having psychotherapy knocked on my door asking to stay & got rejected by the YMCA for accommodation today
11) I've thought about dropping out of University on more than one occasion just to do art, then I remember the reasons why I study Psychology in the first place
12) I did a skydive for Mind, the mental health charity last year even though I had a panic attack on the way down and was dead scary - you'd never know from the smile on my face because I knew it was for such a good cause
I don't really care much about what people may think about me or my life. These things don't define me. A lot of it was out of my control, which probably explains why I try and control every aspect of my life now.
Whatever your past is and whatever happens, at the end of the day it means nothing. What matters is who you are today and if you can hold your head high, keep on going and you're able to make people smile, despite your insecurities, then you're doing something right :')
