I love telling people about my upbringing. Growing up on a piece of family land, living in houses that were built by your family and having your family surrounding you as your neighbours/village is beyond special. The foundation of that place has carried me on ever since. I wish I remembered so much more about it specifically, but I have clear memories of the love and safety that I had in that place.
The first decade of my life was shaped by those experiences and that place. It's hard to believe sometimes that I ever left it. Now I'm in a new place trying to recreate a version of the experience that formed my early years. The same way that my Poppy purchased an empty piece of land and built up our lives, I'm trying to build my village too.
