What can I say? I’m a 24 year old aspiring artist from Australia. I work as a bartender in a club at the moment to pay my way. My family were killed in the bali tsunami when I was 17 and I’ve been on my own ever since.
I want to use this space to try and find the beauty within my life, to watch myself grow and to be happy with who I am. This will be my place to take off my mask, to be a face of glass.

So I have a blog
So after aimlessly walking after finishing work last night, I decided to start a blog. Might be a stupid idea but ah, what the heck!
It’s been too long since I had someone to talk to, to long since I’ve had an unwavering ear that listens. My life fell apart in 2004. My family flew out to Bali. I was meant to follow in a few days as I had a friend’s birthday party I had promised to attend. Two days later my family were dead after they were washed away by the tsunami as they’d relaxed on the beach. It destroyed me and I ran away from my friends house before I was sent to live with my grandparents who I hated. I lived on the street until I was 21.
This taught me a lot about the world that I hadn’t learnt during my sheltered upbringing. Taught me a lot about life. I got to see the darkest parts of humanity as well as some of the brightest. I finally pulled myself out of homelessness when I got my first job, which is where I still work. This allowed me to save some money and I eventually got my own place. Its small and not fantastic but its mine and I love it.
So this is my blog, like I said. That’s pretty much it for now.
