Sometimes I worry whether I grew up too fast, my mind bounces back and forth on the decisions I’ve made and the path I’ve chosen.

I left school at 18 and threw myself straight into setting up my own business, university wasn’t for me. I often wonder where myself and my business would be today had I not gotten unwell a couple of years ago…

But then I have to snap myself out of these silly ‘what if’ moments and realise that everything happens for a reason, getting unwell was a blessing in disguise. I now own my own flat, with my own mortgage, something that I wasn’t able to do when I was self-employed. I’ve had a year solely dedicated to improving my health and learning to accept it’s never going to go back to how it used to me. I’ve learnt how to deal with my Hypothyroidism.

I’m surrounded by many successful photographer friends who inspire my daily with their dedication, passion and bravery with their businesses. Now I’m finally finding my feet again I’m going to focus this year on growing my little business back up, I know it’s not easy, it can be lonely, you question yourself, you’re never totally happy unless you’ve created what you believe is perfect, BUT  I know it’s possible.
