‘Now I feel ready to talk about my relationships. 

And come spring this year, my life changed massively when I met someone and it made me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great.

‘And that someone is a guy – and it did take me by surprise a little bit.’

‘It was always in the back of my head that something like that could happen but it wasn’t until spring this year that something just clicked, it felt right and I was like, “Ah ok” and my whole world changed right here and then.
