Well here goes nothing. This marks the start of my blog posts. I thought I would utilise my first blog post to bring you all up to speed, because I know you all know me to different levels, and I've never really been fully open with anyone before. So I'll start now.
The opening of my story starts, like any other, at the beginning (my young years). I was born with a condition called dyspraxia, which basically impairs my balance and coordination meaning I'm slower at everything than most people and there are a few things I can't do which people would take for granted. This also affects my voice, I still struggle pronouncing a lot of words.
Obviously this means when I was developing it was a lot more obvious and there'd be days where I couldn't function - I had a TA assigned to me (there was only really one TA working at my primary school). Due to my lack of physical ability I wouldn't do as much exercise and I was, well I was fat. And I also had glasses. This made me perfect prey for bullies and they've never really stopped if I'm honest. But now I tolerate it because, well if you think of an insult I can almost guarantee that I've heard it or worse.
Potentially triggery stuff:
It was in one of these dark times in year 8 that I happened to have one of MTV channels on TV. They played When I'm Gone and I don't know what it was but it made something inside me, it just felt right. It was that instant that made me fall in love with Eminem's music, I would listen to it as a coping mechanism. That was it, I was hooked; I honestly think that's what kept me going. Then in year 11, just before Christmas; me and a couple of mates decided to mess around and we wrote a song (it was God awful) and it gave me the idea of venting through rap. Writing lyrics or freestyling are now my go to coping mechanisms.
Now the dyspraxia is kicking my ass and I'm barely coping with the college workload. I'm not sleeping much and I hear voices in my head. I can't go into detail because triggers, but that's where I stand mentally right now.
