1D ~ where we are

Harry ~ where we've come from

Its impossible to put in words how much my lifa has changed since The X Factor. For a start, I live in London now, I'm in a band and I get to travel to amazing places... It's ridiculous when i think about it!When i compare us now to us in the early days of The X Factor,  i know we've improved so much as a group. i think we've gained a lot of confidence and we all feel that we can really be ourselves in front  of the crowd.

As much as my life is totaly diffrent to how it  used to be, in some ways things haven't changed that much, because i can still live a normal life. People always ask me "Is it impossible to do all the things you used to do?" but actually i can still go for a drink or dinner and not be bothered. I ust have to be a bit cleverer about it than i used to be.

If I just want to go out somewhere i try not to think about it too much. I jusy go and do it. You could drive yourself crazy worrying about weather it's safe, and you have to live your life. I know that there are certian places where people know me, or there friends do, and if they recognize me they won't be bothered.

There are times when things can get a bit intrusive, but you just have to get on with it. If you're walking down the street and someone takes a picture, so what? You're in public. so you kinda expect in, and it's not a big deal. But if someone were to take photos of me in my house, that would bother me. You have to have somewhere that's private.

One of our mottos that i've learned since i joined the band that i try to stick by is: "work hard, play hard, and, be kind" - because it works.In order to have a good time you have to work hard to be successful, and being kind to people should be a given.If eveerone were a little bit nicer to people, the world would be a better place. You have a choice where you can be alright to someone or you can be a little bit nicer, that could make someone's day.
