Today marks 4 years since I was held in Heathrow's holding cell and deported. This year I managed to go back home to flat in Hoxton and get myself into drama school, after all those years of auditions I got in, and now I can obtain another tier 4 student visa.
After the 1.5 years of sharing and reading the #inspo quotes about good things fall apart so better things can fall together, they came true. My old life and my truest self came to be again and my life made perfect sense.
I belong in London (mainly east London) performing and using the silly talents I was given. Basically, I wasn't meant for life on the farm or not at this chapter of my life and there is no point trying to make it work. I belong in London singing musical style songs as joyfully/drunkly run through the streets of Soho with friends who get me. I need to be performing in plays, filming going to bad auditions and trudging through epping forest with colourful explosives as above. London is my oxygen. No wonder it was so hard to breath when I had created a life so devoid of what was meant for me or where I am happiest.
So when the world seemed to fall apart I got my shit together. Thats me, in a nutshell just trying to be different from the crowd, such a artsy cliche and I'm just going to embrace it.
Thanks for the magic 2k16 you made me whole again.
And thanks for travelling to Epping forest twice Robbie and taking these epic pics.
Happy New Years Lovers
