I probably sound so cliche…but,

So maybe I don’t let you in for a reason. I’m a pretty good actress, if you didn’t already know. Life has actually been pretty stressful. My dad recently moved out, leaving my mum to deal with financial and emotional problems due to their soon-to-be divorce. It’s been pretty hard not breaking down at school and home, but I’ve been given kudos by a few of my friends for keeping myself together.There’s only few things that’ve been keeping a smile on my face these past few months.

As you may know, the British/Irish boy band, One Direction has been quite popular these past few weeks and this has encouraged me to bring out my inner Directioner after all these months of being in the closet. Knowing of their family backgrounds (i.e. divorces, bullying, etc.) I felt as though I could relate.

The past few weeks, my mum kept telling me how great all my step-sibling turned out, even with the various divorces their parents went through. It was hard for me to comprehend. I never thought that I’d take a divorce so seriously, but it just so happened that those feelings were just staying cooped up inside. The only person I could talk to about the whole situation was the person going through it, my mom. But she gave me more of a negative rather than positive out look.

I came to the realization that what my mum and dad were going through had as much as an affect on me as I wanted it to. Listening to 1D always puts me a better mood knowing they all went though life changing things and still got to where they are now. They’re my inspiration.
