Helle there!

I'm "Belle" and been encouraged to join by our friends. First though, I must thank AifeThe Mix for allowing me to join. Especially for her kindness and caring to us over our mother who is terminally ill.

I have many interests, but the greatest of all is music. I'm a member of Jules' band and play acoustic guitar, and vocally trained. I am torn between becoming a meteorologist, or remaining a professional musician. Except these days where work especially for musicians is uncertain, I believe we should have a job to fall back on. I'm 16 and school at home.

In closing I wish to draw your attention to our homeless. Many that live on the streets are teenagers like myself, so whenever possible I visit or donate earnings to Centrepoint https://centrepoint.org.uk/ Please remember them this Christmas!

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Hi Abi,

    Thank you for welcoming me to the board. But you must put yourself and your school work first, so talk to me only when you are able.
