I'm done with labels and disguises. For years I've had a blog that wasn't under my real name, and I didn't disclose anything about my life, but I'm done. With this blog comes the start of a new era in blogging for me.
My name is Erin. I'm 21 years old and I'm still just a big kid, most of the time. Sometimes I'm a little bit too serious about things, but I know how to have fun despite being completely straight edge. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I've never touched drugs in my life, save for panadol. I guess it's for this reason that I don't enjoy clubbing or huge parties where everyone else is drinking. I prefer smaller get togethers, dinners, or one on one catch ups with friends. I'm usually pretty quiet until I'm comfortable in my environment or with the people I'm around.
I live in a small town about 40 minutes drive from Melbourne, Australia. I love where I live, it's one of my favourite places on earth. I used to come here when I was a child to visit a family member, and I recently moved here and I've never been so happy with where I was living. I live with my mother after having just left my father after a series of unfortunate occurrences which meant that living with him was no longer safe.
I'm a musician. Actually, most musicians would probably disagree with me on that. I'm a singer. I sing anything I can possibly get my hands (voice?) on. My favourites are opera and musical theatre. I feel most comfortable singing opera, but I've done an Estill course (if you're a singer, look this up, it's amazing the difference it makes) and I'm becoming more comfortable singing things outside my comfort zone.
The reason I've started this blog is because I want a place to document my weight loss journey. I'm trying to lose 38kg. You can find more on this in my 'Weight Loss' page.
