I'm doing 7 things
There’s often times in people’s lives where we’re shown via the T.V., the news, and papers that our world – the cities in which we live each and every day – and on the brink of some or the other break down. Some collapse. And there’s this need inside that’s triggered, the need to act. To react rather. I decided that this need ought to have attention paid to it. And so I began. At first it was signing petitions on the WWF website, and feeding hungry children with just one click. Now I’ve signed up as a mentor for the Tomorrow Trust, and I hope to be able to provide guidance and council for someone who in turn will do the same for another. It really is a sort of ripply effect and all it needs to start with is you, and a step in the right direction.

My heart broke, but he and I kept in touch and every time he came back we'd see one another and undoubtedly fall back into love. Now he's back for the summer, about three months, and … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I first got the idea after a series of life changing experiences. I got a henna of the tattoo I had always toyed with getting and fell madly in love with it. From that point I knew I wanted to get it, and not even for others to see. Just for me. I chose the design - 3 chinese symbols - and got the first one the same week I turned 18. I then got the second one a year later and the final one two years later. It was a process, and one which … Read how I did it…
How I did it: As an act of growth I got rid of my room. I sold my bed; gave my old teddybears to a charity that gives them to children who're victims of rape and abuse. I painted the walls, and moved everything around. It was such an experience and an important one at that because it was my first step to controlling and designing a little space in this world, just for me... Read how I did it…
