So fresh

Today I stumbled across my old CD collection, a variety of my mother's 70's and 80's albums and my own discs, including some pop, rock and rap and of course the So Fresh albums we bought every year - say hello to my childhood memories.

It's so peculiar to listen to the songs that made me cry when I was 8 and what I thought when I heard them, and to think how much my life has changed since then. I thought everything was such a disaster, and oh hey this is the song that has been on Michael Hill commercials in the past few years! I never would have realised. As I was saying, breaking up with my boyfriend of what seemed like forever was the end of the world. It took me nearly three years to get over him!

But I also see myself dancing to these songs in front of my class, unashamed and beautiful. A slim, blonde and blue-eyed beauty. Boy did I throw all that away.

And I've never been prouder.
