with no one around me but the kids I teach every day. I never had a hand out, I moved out at 17, I've struggled financially, I've worked hard, never been distracted by what everyone else my age is doing. I've been engaged before. I've loved hard and had my heart broken. I've loved people that are wrong for me. And still I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I'm wiser and becoming more switched on every day. I'm 32, I'm single, I have the most beautiful hearted dog that I love so much it makes me want to cry. I still miss people that aren't good for me. Because I'm human. The show branded me "the body" and personally I found that so sweet, being someone who has struggled with my weight since puberty. The most exciting thing is not knowing what's next, but I never wait for things to land in my lap, I work at it until it comes. All I can say is never listen to the people that say you can't do something. People feel threatened by being outgrown. Is that even a word? It is now. This story has no punch line, but never give up. Life is fricken hard sometimes, but if you keep chippin away, amazing things do happen.
