Hello Old Friend



So first off, I'd like to say that I'm sorry. Sorry I've been gone from this blog for such a long time. It wasn't really my choice to stay away, it just sort of happened I guess. 

The end of 2013 was a bit of a rough year for me in the fact that I lost my Granddad in August. He was 76 and a fighter. Having survived crashing on our local beach at 18 and many more crashes after whether they be in motorbikes, cars, planes or just falling over... it was strange to see him drift silently away in his sleep. 

Me and Granddad - Christmas 2012

Not many people will know what a state I was in when my Nan died about 5 years ago. I got depression and started self-harming. It's only thanks to my best friend Alice being here the day my Granddad passed away that stopped me going into that dark place again. 

Unfortunately, his funeral was on the day which would have been my Nanny's birthday. That triggered things again, especially as they were to be put in the same crematorium and the same room and I started to shut myself away again. 

I played the Sims 3 for a while, but stopped recording what I was doing. I'd pushed this blog to the back of my mind thinking "Well, nobody is reading it so what's the point." And then, I got a comment from someone just out of the blue, asking me when I was going to continue because she missed Jayda. That made me happy so I decided that I would try to continue this blog. It won't be easy because I have college work to do and other things, but I will try my hardest. 

So I guess, first of all I better start with an update...
