Ever felt that your life is like a movie?
Well I do. I feel like Drew Barrymore in her 1999 movie "Never been kissed"
To be honest we don't have much in common. Except for the fact that I've also never been kissed, never dated anyone.
It wasn't by choice, and it's also not because I'm unattractive or anything.... it's just I was always afraid of the idea of being in love and have my heart broken.
After Mom and Dad got divorced, my life was a complete mess.
Going back and forth between two different countries, living a year or two with my Dad and another with my Mom.
My life was hectic, I barley had any friends, let along any clue of where I was going with my life.
All that changed when I turned 19, I've made a choice that I was gonna stay with my Mom... I left my dad the day his Mother died (cruel I know).
But it was now or never I thought to my self.
First year with my Mom was amazing, I graduated High school late, and then was on my way searching for a college.
I Didn't know what to major at, but Everyone told me I should major at Fashion Design, since it's what I loved.
I Was more worried about the money and how will I pay for my tuition.
Eventually, I took a loan from the bank. It was a small amount but i was able to pay for my first semester there.
Life at college was hell!!!.
I hated it, I hated fashion... I didn't fit in... that's what I kept telling my self till I quit.
I WAS LOST...
Now at the age of 23, I think I'm ready to go back and start over, I haven't found my self yet! But at least I know what I want to do.
For the past four years I've been trying different jobs, trying to find something I like.... I've also took couple of courses at Graphic Design and Social media...
After doing random jobs, I finally found the perfect one.
Working as an assistant was the only suitable thing I could find since I don't have a college degree. And it pays the rent.
"Ivy, are you there?" My bestfriend and maybe my only friend, Katy yelled. apparently I was zooming out in memory land and missed what she was saying.
"Umm, sorry what was that you said?"
"I said are you excited for your first day at college tomorrow?"said Katy
"Oh yes, I feel a little worried though, what if the other kids laughed at me for being the oldest person in class! What if they called me granny? ". I said horrified by what might happen tomorrow and how will I be treated!
"Don't stress it out, everything will be fine. Just be your self and try to talk to other people... you are there to learn and get your degree so you can finally go on with your life" said Katy.
She's right I'm not going there to make friends, or to find my so called "soul mate"! I'm here to study and get my BA in graphic design so I can have a better career.
"You're right, thanks Katy I really don't know what I would've done without you" I told her with a smile on my face.
Tomorrow is a new chapter, I said to my self.
Starting tomorrow! my life will be nothing but a routine for the next 3 years.... (Eat, study, sleep, repeat)...
Hey guys, first of all I'm really sorry for the super long first chapter.
I just wanted to finish Ivy's introduction and a glimpse of her past, before I'd jump in into the story.
This is my first time writing, so I hope someone will read it :)
Love,
Sylvie ♡
