I decided today that I should start a blog. I'm not really sure why. I think it has something to do with telling someone my feelings whilst that person has the option to stop reading at any point without having to pretend they are listening.

Let me tell you a bit about me. I'm your average 17 year old girl. I love clothes, music, films and gossiping with my friends. However I also couldn't live without my medication, my bed and my wheelchair. You see I have a medical condition which I inherited from my dad called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. This effects my muscles meaning they don't hold my body together very well. I dislocate very easily and all my joints ache most days. I'm not wheelchair bound but I do need it when a lot of walking is needed like when I go shopping.

Don't think though that just because I have an illness that all my posts are going to be depressing and all about what's wrong with me. I use my sense of humour to get me through the hard times and make the good times even better. I also have a pretty hilarious family so I am sure they will be my inspiration for some posts.

Well I think that's enough for now but I will be back and I hope I haven't put you off.
