    About Me

    I am a uni student and work part-time in management within the cosmetic industry though I'm looking for a great positive change in my career & My life!! Despite my hardships in life and relationships-I try to remain positive. I am currently trying to re-build my confidence within an abusive relationship and deal with physical insecurities, I know it will take time to see that I am beautiful within and out-!! I do have the most amazing family & the best girls I could ever ask for in my life! I try everyday to allow their love to keep me going!!Everyday is a challenge to feel normal and ahppy again- As of April I lost my best friend at the hands of her abusive common-law husband! I miss her everyday and every hour she comes to mind! I cant eat and often cant sleep. Right now I feel weak and I have to try and remind myself- how blessed I actually am!

    Interests

    **Travel...I used to be so adventurous-- I'm looking forward to gettin' away at the end of the month- sometimes you have to be out of your element to see your true self!! **Dance... I used to dance with a Ballet Company many years ago and I somedays miss it! I hope in the Fall I can get back to it! Music... I love it live! **Shopping... I guess retail therapy is a quick fix, but sometimes it helps to look good- and temporarily feel good.
