      Being an adult is… Being constantly aware that death is simultaneously very close and very far away, so each day is a rush to slow down so that you can get enough energy from stillness to speed up and get going. What are you worried about currently?

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Acknowledgements

      First of all I would like to give thanks to my family, in particular: my mother, Crystal (she would be very annoyed if I hadn’t made her name stand out), and my aunt Sonya. She was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to within the family. Last but certainly not least, my grandmother Shirley. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be alive today… I love you, even though you all get on my nerves every now and then.

      I would also like to thank Evan Brockington (My Faux Father…). He was always there when I needed someone to look up to as a father figure and if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the courage to publish this book. Thank you.

      To all of the people that thought I was crazy when I said I wanted to get my book published… this is for you! One thing about me that you should have learned is that I love to prove people wrong! It’s in my blood…

      Dear Future Self,

      How is it there in the future? Is life much easier then? Is it what I always dreamed of, or is it more? Is it how I pictured, or is it something that I
