FINDING STACIE

As a child my parents were quiet strict when it came to the dinner table, we had to eat with our mouths shut, No singing at the dinner table and always cross our knife and fork once finished. My father would do his best to make us eat ALL our vegetables, one night before a school disco, my younger sister refused to eat her peas so my dad refused to take her to the school disco, he dropped my other sister and i off and later on finally gave in, did my sister eat her peas? I'll let you know later, but we did eat quiet healthy. My mum wouldn't buy chips for school while all the cool kids had their chips and their sandwiches in zip lock bags we had ours in brown paper bags and lots of fruit. We had hot chips & scallops and pineapple fritters with our nan once a week and McDonalds was a treat that would only happen once in a blue moon, I'd NEVER had K.F.C until I was 15 and that's because I worked there. We always played sport (netball) and grew up surrounded by water so naturally we were all strong swimmers from a very young age.

As a teenager I NEVER ate healthy , far from it in fact, I would often eat McDonalds or McDonalds, yes I pretty much lived on takeaway, I'm not sure if I was making up for all those years of being "made" to eat healthy or quiet simply buying what i wanted because I could? I never drank water and the only exercise I did was dancing EVERY weekend until the sun came up and my weight never changed, oh the joys of being a teenager hey?

I began smoking at the age of 15,and then Marijuana. It wasnt long before I was taking speed, ecstasy and LSD on a regular basis. My parents were quiet worried for my health and although now I can see they were just worried about ME and trying to make me see some sense ,at the time I just wanted to party, I lived for festivals and drugs and eating crap or not eating at all, that WAS my life, I ruined relationships, I forgot who I was.

When I was 22 I moved away, away from it all, I was gone for a few months, I worked on Hamilton Island and later moved to Cairns with some girls I had just met, I had the experience of my life and the best part wasnt just the life long friendships I got out of it , It was the sense of satisfaction that I could give up the "Party" life, I could ditch the drugs and find myself once again.

I bet you're ALL wondering if my sister ate her peas? Hell NO, and to this day she STILL wont eat her peas.

#siblinghoodlove can you guess which one is me?
