i'm a girl who speaks her mind and often gets in trouble for it. i'm passionate and can get carried away with the things i care about. i have a habit of starting stuff and not finishing it and i love pretty things. my friends seem to think that i'm loud and talk a lot but i can also be quiet and reflective and love listening to and learning about new people. i adore music of all kinds and believe in supporting local musicians and artists. i also like to try my hand at various art forms including photography, drawing, painting and mosaics. i'm a mum and a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunty, a cousin, a niece and a granddaughter. i'm also blessed enough to have people in my life who i love dearly and have chosen to be my family. i love all my family, both genetic and chosen more than anything and feel so lucky to have them all in my life. i have been diagnosed with chronic depression which means i've had it for a long time. it's not something i've talked a lot about in the past but i am now starting to open up more as we need to become more accepting as a community about people with depression and other mental health issues. i'm always happy to talk about my life experiences and i'm pretty much an open book, so introduce yourself and say hi :) tif
