The story of my twenties.

 I'm closer to 40 then 20 but I remember my twenties like they were yesterday.

They started in uncertainty. I was in receipt of a sick benefit living on a council estate in Wales. I lived with my parents and having not got my gcses due to ptsd, I finished college with a business certificate and diploma but with no clue what I was going to do with my life. 

I was single, and lacked clarity on everything in my life accept God. See I grew up Christian and up till this point, I'd mostly not questioned it. I was stable at a church in my home town and a Sunday school teacher there. But beyond this I had no clue where my life would go. 

I had a good group of friends and they were all in University or working bar one best friend who like me was directionless in life. 

I stayed pretty lost until I found the world of personal development. I used to follow a blog called personal excellence. I remember reading it thinking I could do this. After about a year I decided to give it a shot, I started my first blog. That was Daisy Change and I still have it today.  

I met my would be fiance at 22 years old, we were together all through my twenties but in my thirties it all went wrong. For the purpose of this blog I will be talking about *Mr in a good light. 

Three years after meeting Mr* I moved to London to end the long distance part of our relationship and because I truly believed God had called me there. We got engaged and lived together for the next seven years. I freelanced and blogged, he worked as a artist. Then at 32 that relationship ended and I moved back to the same council house with my parents feeling lost again. 

It did work for me though for the last five years of my twenties living and working in London. 

It is from that success that I'm writing. 

But also from my many challenges and failures. 

Anyway that's the gist of my twenties story. 

I will catch you next post.
