I have 30 minutes left of being 21. It is mad, because I haven’t lived how a typical 21 year old would live. Uni, spending most weekends getting wasted, going to festivals, road trips, going to Ibiza,raving.
I have responsibilities I have a 2 year old, and I have my own house.
So I guess I cannot live like a 21 year old childless single person could.
& I don’t give a damn. I love being a mummy. I love staying in at the weekends, I also love waking up Saturday + Sunday hangover free :p I love spending that bit of money I have spare after bills and essentials, on toys for my kiddo. I love seeing her smile.
I did want to go to a music festival however, but I couldnt afford it, but i’m not down about it, i’ll go next year.
I pick staying in with my daughter over nights out. In the past year I have consumed alcohol about 5-6 times, and I am so proud to say that.
On my 21st birthday I didnt even have a drink. I decided to spend the money on presents, and I’ll do the same this year.
I don’t know why I am writing this, it just felt right, I feel as though I should spend my last minutes of being 21 summing up my year. What I have enjoyed.
I really think being a mummy is the best. I get to re live my childhood. I act like a kid anyway, so why not be one? I have the most precious little girl, who is so happy and brings meaning into my life.
I have a great boyfriend who cares for me so much. Even though he does tend to wind me up a little, and spend too many hours on the PlayStation. :P
I am so happy this year I have spent more time in London with my family. I promised myself I would at the start of the year.
I have an amazing mum and dad, who have been the best of parents.
I was brought up so well and I am trying to follow in there footsteps and trying to be as good as them with my daughter.
Even a smidgen of there love and happiness would prove a great job.
In the photo above you can see me when I was about 3 years old, and my beautiful mum. I love this picture as it reminds me of all the good times as a kid. We had a beautiful garden, that I loved spending the summer in, my dad always kept the garden so alive with flowers, ponds, fishes, frogs. I also like to add how much I loved that slide.
& Even tho my dad isn’t in that picture, he took it, so he is in the photo to me.
I am 200 miles away from them now. I live so far, and its horrible. They understand that I wanted to get away from my home town, and how much I love my partner. Thats how awesome my parents are. Even tho its heart breaking to be this far away, they just want me to be happy.
I really do want to be forever 21. I said I wanted to stay 19 forever just before my 20th birthday, I wanted to stay a teenager.
I prefer this age, so I am now forvever 21 (in my head)
So happy birthday to me! 22 years old..
