Long story short,
women can be the most amazing, wonderful, kind-hearted people. That’s all thank you for reading see ya
soon. For real though, I honestly do not
think I would be half the 15-year-old I am today if it wasn’t for the amazing, influential
women I have in my life. So, while my
mental health is on a high, while I can’t watch youtube because of the hecking
fireworks going off every five seconds, while I feel bad for not posting in
agesssss, I’m going to tell you about the best five fabulous women who have shaped
me into what I am today.
Firstly, my idol,
wcw, future wife, Miss Taylor Swift! Say
what you want about her but I’m going to say right now that she should be
treated with so much respect. I used to
love listening to her songs and dream about how one day I would get my own man
who has a James Dean daydream look in his eye before I even knew what a crush
was. She was the soundtrack to my Year
Six, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten and her music gave me the strength I needed to
keep on fighting. If she could turn all
the hate she received into multiple songs I quote on the daily, I could deal with
the rumours at my school. Even to this
day I’m not ashamed to admit I saw her in concert and now whenever I feel down
or don’t think I can face another day seeing those people at school, I just
blast out Look What You Made Me Do and suddenly I feel kickass and ready to start
the day. Music may not be able to change
the world but Taylor Swift sure has saved mine.
Another woman who
has shaped me and my future more than she will ever know is my year 10 English teacher. I have no way of contacting her or seeing how
she is so I just have to hope somehow she’ll one day read this and realise what
a great teacher and influence she was to me.
Not only did she make me fall in love with English and reading once more,
but she made me realise I do have a future in this world, and it can be as
amazing as I want it to be. Now, because
of her I know what I want to do post year 11 – something I couldn’t bare to
think of a mere few years ago. She believed
in me and saw more potential in me than I did at the time. Now I can saw with confidence I am good at
English Literature and my grades show it!
So, to my year 10 English teacher who taught 10XJA, just know that you’ve
helped me more than you will ever know.
A woman of whom I
have only met once but she has changed my life forever, is a woman called
Lucy. She also has a blog and it’s
amazing and at the bottom of this article I’ll leave a link for it. Lucy is such a strong kickass feminist and I
honestly hope I get to be like her when I grow up. She’s lovely quite simply. She encouraged me to start my blog, she was
my first follower, first fan and first supporter of what I am writing and doing,
and she has helped me so much. So, even though
this paragraph may not be as long as the others, I just want to say people
called Lucy are great (my therapist is also called Lucy and I adore her too, so
I think Lucy’s are magical beings).
My favourite
teacher that I have ever had is hands down my Citizenship teacher. For those who don’t know, citizenship is
basically all about the world around us and we talk lots about important matters
such as consent, drugs and extinction rebellion and other “important” matters such
as Brexit! Was that too political? Oh well, I am keeping that in. She once, ONCE said to me that I could easily
become Prime Minister and make England an amazing place and I hold that close
to my heart. She most likely doesn’t even
remember saying that, but she lets me complain to her and the rest of the class
about how ridiculous the world is and what can be improved. Even though I am positive that my class hate
me at this point, she still lets me scream and shout until I’m blue in the face
then she asks me what I think I should do about it. So, thanks Miss, for making my citizenship lessons
fun and for giving me an outlet for my inner angry demon which would never see
the light of day until it was too late. So
thank you Miss!!
Last but absolutely
not least, the most amazing woman in my life has got to be my Mum. Any of my friends can tell you that I love my
Mum and that they love her too. Mum, you’re
very popular so well done, people like you more than me but we’ll brush past
that. Ever since I was in that womb, my
Mum has been my number one fan and always supported me. My Mum is the kind of Mum who listens to me
complaining hours on end and just lets me without stopping me. She likes to know what’s going on in my life
but not in the helicopter parent way, but in the way that she genuinely cares. We’re on the same wavelength and we speak
exactly the same and have the same mannerisms and the same sense of
humour. She’ll probably use all this
against me but oh well! I love you Mum
and I always worry I don’t say it enough, but I really do mean it from the
bottom of my heart. Here’s to decades
more of us both saying exactly the same thing, jamming out to Foo Fighters, The
Killers, Greenday and the list goes on, in the car, playing slapsies because we
are both children at heart and getting amazing mugshots of one another.
It was super hard
to make that list because I could have gone on for hours on hours on hours
about all the women I love. There are so
many women and girls who have helped shape me but I’ll do another post about that
(maybe on my Instagram which you really should be following). Anyway, I love you all, viva le résistance
baby!
xo baby, Tati xoxo
