Olivia Digby

Just another early to mid 20's girl trying to make her way in the world, learning to juggle life, love, work, family and friends. I love to travel and move address a lot.

I'm not saying I had the most difficult childhood, far from it, but it was still no picnic. I had an alcoholic father and a shopaholic mother. Needless to say they were not in love and made my childhood miserable, they constantly argued and took out their anger on myself and my younger brother. Being raised in this environment meant that I ended up with deep psychological issues. I have never had a normal relationship, in fact I have always wound up in abusive relationships and pushed away any good guy that wanted to be with me. I have only had two serious relationships and a few non serious ones. The two main relationships nearly destroyed me, they were very intense and controlled my life. In both relationships I was being mentally abused and told I wasn't worth anything. I was told no one else would ever love me as much as they did. Only now can I see how wrong they were and I am able to put that behind me. There is one problem with this, after going through everything I had been through and trying to make a change, I now had enough confidence to go out and meet new people but still had a low enough self esteem to just fall for the guys pick up lines and be used. I'm not saying I have been a victim but on several occasions I have fallen for the lines given to me by guys who have claimed they wanted a relationship, dated for a short while only to leave me once they had got what they wanted from me. I'm still trying to wise up to it, make another change in my ways but I still seem to make a lot of mistakes.

How I came to moving to Newquay . . .

Moving to Newquay wasn't really thought about too much to be honest, I have always been rather spontanious so my decision was just me waking up one morning and saying to myself "I think i will move to Newquay today". After being unhappy for many years, moving from place to place. No where made me happy dispite having good jobs and great friends, there was always something missing from my life. I have always liked the sea side, something about the waves keeps me calm, the tranquility of it has always been therapeutic for me. Moving to Newquay has been a great fresh start, it was exciting to start a new life where I knew no one. I could give a new first impression with no one judging me for my past. A brand new Olivia.
