Annabelle Arabella Hemmings.
29 January 1995
It's not easy being Luke Hemmings older sister and practically mother. Our childhood was pretty rough and we were the only ones there for each other. What will happen when I join him on tour? What will he...
27th January. 2 days after Calum's birthday and 2 days before mine. Me and Calum planned a day out to celebrate both of our birthdays. We had lunch and now we've ended up in a tattoo parlour. I've been wanting 3 tattoos for awhile but haven't had the time with planning the wedding. I'd decided I'd get all 3 done now.
I'd gotten "peace will win" on one arm and "fear will lose" on my other. To keep me grounded when things get tough. I've got through what I've gone through and I've come through the other side with a resistance badge. I am a survivor, a witness, a warrior. My experiences have changed me, but that's doesn't mean they have to define me. I'm learning that every day.
The next one I got was a semi colon to remember every time I wanted to give up, every time I almost gave up and even when I tried to, that I got through everything that happened. Not only was it difficult, but I experienced it as a child. It's a constant reminder not to keep fighting and never forget what's brought me where I am now.
The next one I got simply because it was pretty:

After we'd finished at the tattoo parlour we went back to Luke's. we walked into a pitch black silent house. I looked around wondering where Luke was before Calum turned the lights on. My eyes flickered adjusting to the light. I saw all our friends and a banner saying 'happy birthday Anna and Cal!'
Michael: "happy birthday, baby!"
Me: "I'm so surprised! Thank you, love"
Michael: "happy birthday, Cal!"
Cal: "thanks, mate"
Luke: "happy birthday, Calum!"
Cal: "thanks!"
Luke: "happy birthday, Anna! 24! Your old now!"
Me: "HEY!"
Luke: "I'm kidding! Happy birthday!!"
Me: "thank you!"
Luke hugged me tightly which hurt because of my new butterfly tattoo on my rib cage. I winced as he squeezed me tighter.
Luke: "what's wrong?"
Me: "got a tattoo and your squeezing it"
Luke: "ohhhh sorry"
Michael: "hold up! You got a tattoo? Where? Can I see it?"
Me: "I actually got 3. I can show you two but you can see the third later because it's on my rib cage right under my boob so"
