The Book – i sank

The Story – stained glass

Rebuilding the walls after my first failed relationship took some time, I was so destroyed that for the longest time I almost didn’t realise that I’d actually been given one of the biggest gifts, confidence.

The Story – dead

I’m 16 and it’s the heat of summer. I am loving life, I have friends all around me and I'm going to house parties nonstop.
