Little Old Me

Hi there,

So this is my first ever blog, here goes.

I'm a 20 year old girl trying to fight her way through life. I am the same as any other girl my age, traveling through life but my road has a few twists and turns and bumps. I love photography, art, fashion, poetry and creating little bits and pieces out of stuff you would normally throw out, bit of DIY. 

- I used to play ice hockey, it was my absolute passion, till an injury stopped me playing for life. 
- I LOVE art and possibly my favourite is etching. I miss that. 
- I write my own poems as a sort of story, putting things on paper seems to make it more real and easier to understand and put into perspective, I may even put some on here. 
- I am aiming to become a PhD in marine mammal research, in the Antarctic primarily but anywhere in the world would still be amazing. 

One hitch in my life: ANA.
I have been struggling with anorexia nervosa for over a decade and I'm still fighting. As I hate the title of the eating disorder I call it 'Ana'. I was only able to put a title to my issue after a year of therapy 8 years after the beginning of the disorder, but now I use Ana without a problem. 

This blog will hopefully help some other girls struggling with eating disorders, or possible make someone realise they have difficulty with their body form and eating habits!
