Girls – stop the slut shaming, it isn’t nice, and it isn’t clever. It’s especially self defeating when you’re slut shaming yourself. Take it from one who knows.
We all have the choice, to decide who we want to be. Not everyone has been publicly shamed and labelled in the way I have, I know, but I’m writing this post because lots of people are still wearing the labels given to them by someone else – parents, teachers, school bullies, ex boyfriends or girlfriends …
This post is for you, if you’ve ever been told you’re not enough and believed it. It’s not true. You are enough. You matter and you’re amazing!
If this post helps any of you out there then it will mean something good came out of all the bad things that happened to me.
Only you get to choose who you are. Write your own label. If you don’t like the one you’re wearing then rewrite it and change the narrative. This is your story, you get to choose.

Pass it on.
If you were wondering, the ‘good friend’ who inspired me was Callum O’Connor and we’re in love, it’s officially official! You can pass that on too if you like!
On a lighter note – for those of you following the exploits of my puppy Flump aka The Artful Dodger, his latest ‘acquired items’ tally since I last posted here includes:
Three silver photo frames
My favourite ballet pumps
A large living room rug (rolled up and dragged!)
Two toothbrushes
A dressing gown
A birthday card
A cushion
An antique lace pillowcase
An owl doorstop
A flowerpot
A book about the Languedoc
My iPhone (yes, really! His teeth got a grip on the case and he took it under my bed where I couldn’t reach him)
A pink vibrator
And a wedding veil
