We Found Love

Newcastle, Newcastle Australia. The small city where dreams aren’t made and love isn’t found. Yet it was in this town that my dreams came true and love was found. I was seventeen and had just finished my final year of school before I went of to university. The time in between the end of school and starting University was when you were meant to ‘find yourself’ but how are you meant to find yourself when you’ve nearly lost yourself.

So here I was, Seventeen, Never been in love, Never had a one night stand, Never had sex and never touched a drop of alcohol and I was meant to lose myself to find myself. It was a stupid concept, The thought that to find the person you’re really meant to be you have to have sex, get drunk, fall in and out of love was stupid not to mention dangerous and reckless but everyone saw these few months as a right of passage, The way to let you know what you we’re going to do next year. Take a gap year or go on and continue to study. My name is Annie Wilson and this is how I found myself.
