Booksmart & Broke
Because you can’t escape being human.
What do you see when you look at me?
I see a lost little girl in a grown woman’s body.
I’ve spent my life following the rules.
Rules that came with promises.
Promises made both explicitly and implicitly; that if I followed the rules then everything would be alright.
That I would be happy, successful and, if I’m deeply honest with myself, accepted.
But as I face my reality, as painful as it is, I realise that they were all false promises that I swallowed hook line and sinker.
BookSmart and Broke is my reclamation.
It’s where I give myself permission to write my own rules.
These are the raw, unfiltered, brutally honest conversations I need to have with myself.
