Dear Issy,

You know, life is a bit like a rollercoaster, full of unexpected twists and turns. It's like that winding path we can't always predict, but it's what makes life the wild adventure that it is.

In the pages that lie ahead, I want to take you on a journey through the intricate tapestry of my own life. You see, I know you're going to experience your own share of those ups and downs, and as much as I wish I could, I can't protect you from every twist that comes your way.

This is my diary, my way of opening up my heart and soul to you, so you can understand where I've been and where life has taken me. I grew up with an addict mother, an absent father, and a childhood that was like navigating a stormy sea. Those early years set the stage for a tumultuous adolescence and the rocky road of young adulthood.

But this isn't just a list of experiences; it's a testament to the unpredictable nature of life itself. What's on the surface rarely tells the whole story. We wear these happy masks, but beneath them, there's a world of untold tales.

As I became a mother myself, to you my darling girl, I came to realize that life's challenges and surprises are woven into the very fabric of our existence. This story, my story, is a reflection on how appearances can be deceiving, how the happiest people often carry their own hidden stories.

Within these pages, you'll find the raw truth of difficult relationships, the dizzying highs of falling in love, the sharp pain of heart break, and the everlasting quest for genuine connection. Remember, everyone you meet has their own unique story, something beyond the masks they wear. Life's true beauty, my dear Issy, lies in the depth and diversity of these untold stories and the one common thread that binds us all, resilience.

So, join me on this adventure as we peel back the layers, uncover the truths, and celebrate the strength that defines us all. Life is full of surprises, but with resilience, love, and understanding you'll navigate those twists and turns just fine.

With all my love,

Mama.
