My Little Treasure

It's weird how stupid, spontaneous moments can totally affect your life. For me, I used my University fund to buy a shop with my boyfriend. The look on my mothers face when I told her was priceless, even more so when I told her it included vintage clothes and novelties. I was never the child that did extra well in school, made the parents proud of my achievements or anything like that, I was the child that disappointed my parents, especially when I told them I wasn't going to go to University like my brother. I never aspired to be a doctor or a lawyer, I didn't want to do something for my parents. I wanted to do it for me but unlike some I actually stood up for what I believed in and followed my own dreams, even if they were opening up a small shop. I was more realistic, I didn't want to be stuck in a job that I would hate, may be not at first but it would happen, I didn't want to be constantly bossed about and told what to do and be looked down at by superiors, so what better way to get away from that than be my own boss in a job that was determined by myself. This shop as little as it was opened up a massive opportunity, I got to be creative and be happy, and I was. I was very happy. I had the perfect job, my own flat and my beautiful, fun, life-loving boyfriend Finn. I thought I had it all, I thought that this was going to be it, that this perfect moment was going to be my life. But I can never maintain the happy fairytale. Something had to change it, and it did.
