Taking Control

Prologue

People can take everything away from you, but they can never take away your truth. But the question is, can you handle mine?... I am writing this to you at 12:55am on October 28th 2023. I had the idea of writing my own autobiography about a year ago and immediately started work on it. These chapters were written at different points between November 2022 and October 2023, so bare that in mind if the timeline seems a little off on some parts. Writing an autobiography might seem a bit excessive to some people given the fact I'm not famous yet, but I wanted to write this autobiography for a number of reasons. I love writing so much, it's always been a huge part of my life. Everyone knows that I've written songs but what people probably don't know is that I've also written novels that I haven't published. I used to love doing the English papers during my GCSEs and I would always use question 5 as an excuse to write some kind of romantic story, as you are probably aware I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe that I will have a fairytale romance and live happily ever after. I'm just going to be honest, I also love talking about myself, but who doesn't? Everyone loves talking about themselves they just don't like to admit it. So writing a book about myself? A dream come true. Do I even call it a book though? A book is a physical thing, this is just an online document. I also did this because I feel like there have been a lot of things going around about me lately. Everyone has their opinions on me and I just have to say my side of the story. I want to set the record straight. I wanted to vent about everything in my life that has ever peeved me, I wanted to apologise to people I have wronged, and I wanted to defend myself where I have been made to feel ashamed for things I shouldn't ever have to be ashamed for. Before you read, I just want to make it clear that I am not holding a grudge against anyone. I have no hard feelings towards anyone I have written about, this is just my perspective of everything. This is my side of every story I've ever been involved in. I think it will be lovely for my grandkids to read this in 50 years time, as well as my future fans. One day I will write a real autobiography and get it published in book stores across the world, when I am famous. Writing this book has been very theraputic but also emotional to revisit my entire life story from before I was even born all the way into 2023. Hopefully now I have everything out of my system so I won't have to make as many Instagram rants. Some people involved in this book might not agree with everything I have said but this is my story to tell, this is how it was from point of view. I'm certain some people will see it differently, and that is their story to tell. I would like to dedicate this book to my one true love: music.
