As you mature, you gain a broader awareness of things that could go wrong and the consequences, especially where those consequences can prove harmful. Growing up, I would hop on Rocky’s back, kick on and jump anything in our way. No show jump was too high, no ditch was too wide – I loved it
Dear Donna, I have an issue, that I think many people experience – however I find it really,really difficult to control. I dwell alot.

We’ve had our Christmas decorations up since November 23rd. We’ve screamed Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas at least a billion times already. We’ve watched every Christmas film I can possible think of on Amazon Prime. Maya has a new Christmas wardrobe. And we’ve already seen in big man himself, Santa at Winter Wonderland at The Mall
So, the Pink Sparkly Miss is getting married and, up until recently she was really looking forward to it. All the plans have dropped onto place, things are all set up with the venue, music and entertainment, singing lessons are going really well (yes I said singing lessons) and the pick and mix is all
We live in a world where you’re constantly told to follow your dreams. But when you share your dreams, you’re told to stop living in a fantasy and to think of something realistic. So what are you to do when most of the people around you aren’t supportive or encouraging of your dreams? Fuck them,
