Clare and Avery: A love story

The Day I Met Her

FUTURE ME: hi :) I've just read the beginning and oml it's cringey but I promise it gets better 😂

I'd heard about this girl, Clare, for a while now. I'd seen her posts on Instagram and I'd heard that she made YouTube videos, I never watched them though. Throughout my life, I had been compared to Clare many times, apparently we shared a sense of humour and had the same way of brightening someone's day. These comments always made me smile and I often aspired to be more like Clare, she was becoming a role model in many factors of my life...

ABOUT ME
I guess I'd better tell you about me first before we get onto my story...
I'm Avery, a studious student from the south of London. Where I'd grown up was known as the 'rough neighborhood' and, well, it was. I would often stay awake at night due to fights and brawls outside our house at night, mummy always said that if she'd had the chance to move away she would have gone the minute she arrived, but we were tied down in that house because my grandma refused to leave. On October 5th 2010, my grandmother passed away, it was an unusually quiet day that time and my brother had fallen into a terrible depression. My mother was broken and my dad drank himself through the heart breaking situation, I knew at that point that it was my...duty...to make a change, I wanted to male my family how it used to be again, and to do that I needed a positive outlook on life. I started going to the gym twice a week and did yoga and meditation classes, I realised that I had to make my family happy, so I set up a yoga business.
Now, I'm 2018, we no longer live in the rough part of town, my parents are healthy and have good jobs and my brother is married with a baby on the way (not him, his wife-duh!) I still do my yoga classes and I'm also a therapist specialising in teenagers and young adults with depression. I'm now 25 years old and changed my name from Abigail to Avery...
