Taking Control

Acknowledgements

There are a number of people I want to thank when it comes to finishing up my autobiography. Of course my mum and my dad for everything they've ever done for me. They have sacrificed so much for me and gave me the best childhood and upbringing any kid could have ever asked for. They continue to spoil me rotten and I'm 20 now!!! I love them very much, they're my best friends. I want to thank Jess for basically being my sister these past 15 years. You have always been there for me and even as a kid you were always sticking up for me. I love you very much! Malia, thank you for being an absolute angel through thick and thin. We've been through so much together and have come out stronger on the other end, so much of this story is inspired by you and I love you so much. Chanelle, you are just about the strongest person I've ever met in my life. You've been through more than anyone I've ever met but you would never know because you're just so strong. I know I'm your queen, but you truly are my queen. Thank you for all the friendship you've shown me, I love you loads. Lily, thank you for being there for me in times of darkness. You've always shown me great friendship and I couldn't thank you enough for that. Gabbi, our friendship was very off and on between reception and year 8 and it's kind of funny to think of that now but you've always been there for me and I couldn't imagine growing up without you! Jodie for being my best friend since we were 4. We have never had a serious argument and even after you left school in Year 10 we still kept in touch every single day and I can't imagine my life without you. I want to thank all of my grandparents even if they are dead now, specifically mamma. I love you very much and I adored you for my whole life. There's not a day that goes by where I don't think of you and miss you deeply and I will spend my whole life being the best me I can be thanks to all of the knowledge you've ingrained inside my brain. My beloved cat Millie who will never ever be forgotten. I love you space kitty, I love you forever and always. All of my family who have been there for me such as my siblings, I love you to the moon and back! Of course my aunties, particularly aunty Julie H. You're the strongest woman I know and I love you more than you will ever know. I especially admire your love for RuPaul's Drag Race! Miley and Ariana and all of the other incredible people I stan and have stanned over the years, thanks for always being there for me throughout my entire life and helping me to find my dreams and myself. I wouldn't be the person I am today without you, genuinely. I love you more than you will ever know. Sharif, Chax, and Becky thank you for being incredibly loyal friends. The fact we've managed to keep a strong 6 year friendship over the internet is insane to me. Our friendship has faced many tests over the years but we always come out on top and I love all three of you to pieces. To my future fans who are looking back on this biography in 5 years time, I love you eternally and am forever grateful to you for helping to make all of my dreams come true! And to anybody else who I've missed out, thank you so much for everything and I love you more than you will ever know! Last but not least, thank you to every boy who has ever loved me and/or broken my heart - THIS IS FOR YOU, LADS! But truly, this is for me.
