A lot has happened since that day. That day when Shawn and I said our last good bye. He went on tour and has been booming in the music industry non stop since then his fan base keeps on growing. For the first year of us being apart I found it hard I was still all over the press. It's been nearly 3 years. I tell everyone I don't think about him, that I haven't in years but it's not that simple. We had something special and I couldn't let it go as if it was nothing. I still think about him now and then, when I hear someone mention him or I hear one of his songs on the radio or I see him in the news and all those old feelings come fluttering back up. But I was just a blip in his life, a phase, I was just the girl with the Bad Reputation, and I'm just a distant memory to him. My life has changed a lot, I'm now 20, I've graduated but barely, I knew collage was never the path for me so I travelled the world for a year but knew that there was no better place then home. Faith moved to England and is now preforming in the West End. We still talk all the time though and she has really helped with trying to get over Shawn. While I was travelling I met two girls, Taz and Ollie. They are also from Canada, We decide to move into a condo in Toronto and that's where I've lived since. I've dated and have had a boyfriend since Shawn but the relationships never felt right. After Shawn while I was travelling I found my passion, Photography. So that's what I do, I'm a photographer. I work for this big company that people book photographers from and I love my job. I was always so proud of Shawn that he found his passion and now I've found mine and that hole that was left after Shawn got filled in slightly. There will always be a small hole in my heart for Shawn but I just have to go on with my life and keep on growing knowing the fact that I was just a small part of Shawn's life that he will look back at in years time and laugh about how head over heels in love I was.

Shit, was I in love with Shawn?
