Myself & Mischief

1:1 - A Fresh Start

Once upon a time.... No wait... that's too fairytale-ish. Let me start again. Years ago, I was stuck on Earth with no purpose. I was all alone. No family. No friends. I had no one. My name is Madison, and this is my story of how I went from a nobody to falling in love ... with a God.

It was just a normal Saturday morning. Sun blaring in through the curtains, the sound of birds chirping away outside. My eyes flickered open, looking up at my grey ceiling. It had been 2 days since my mother passed. She was the last of my family. Now it was time to venture alone through my life. No mother/daughter pamper days or movie days. Just me. I got out of bed and put on my favourite green sweater and black acid wash jeans. I put on my golden necklace and golden earrings before I went downstairs to make my breakfast.

I sat at the breakfast table, sipping my tea and looking on my phone wondering what I want to do with my life now. I inherited a lot of my family's wealth and I didn't want to stay here in England all on my own. I wanted to start a new life. Somewhere new, different and with lots of new people to meet. 

I walked to work and knowing another day there was going to sour my mood even more. I stepped into work and put on my coffee shop apron and just got on with my day. As I was pouring countless amounts of coffee and hot chocolates, I was thinking about what to do. The clock kept ticking and they day went on. Hours spent doing something I never really enjoyed. 

Along came 5pm and I went and spoke to my boss. I declared that I wasn't returning and that I was leaving England to start a new life. He was reluctant but wished me all the luck in the world on my future endeavours. As I walked away from where I'd spent years making drinks, I looked on my phone and scrolled through the many choices of where I could go next. I scrolled and scrolled until I found it... A place totally new, A place far away from England and my old life... New York City, USA. 

I smiled and booked my flight and got home and packed everything I could and I had sorted out for my home to be sold asap and my new life was beginning. This was the start of the fresh life that I needed... So on May 1st 2012 my new life in New York City, was about to begin...
