When being forced into this exchange project, I wasn't the same person I am today. During the last couple months - I can't believe I'm saying this but - I learned a lot. I learned about life, about my family and also about myself.

Let's start with what I learned about life.

Firstly, I was told that all families has their personal problems/struggles and all live in their own way. Not everyone's need is the same. When I went to England with my partner, Ashton, I was taken aback by how welcoming his family is despite all the shit that happened to them. Also, they're not as wealthy as me - quite the opposite - but still manage to have a good, happy life. Ashton's mother turned out to be the exact opposite of my parents. She was warm and loving and imediatly accepted me in her family as soon as I passed their doorway. It was nice to be and feel loved like this.

Secondly, I learned a shitload about my family. My dad is a liar and a cheater. I was already aware of the first one but surprised by the second. I always saw my father as a loyal man but I guess I was wrong: he was cheating on my mother with his whore of a secretary for God know how long. Oops, should I say that? This is disgusting. She's a lot younger than him but he still managed to get her pregnant and now, they're getting married. Crazy people, I know.

And lastly, myself. I was forced into this project due to a stupid thing I did at the start of the year. I'm still laughing over this because Ihad a blast spray-painting over my dad's face. I'd re-do it anytime. Back then, I was a careless teenage boy who liked to hook up and party all the time. Then I met Ashton. He made my world turn upside down and see everything in a diferent angle. I learned to love and apreciate what I have instead of complaining so much.

I feel like a better person, now. I grew up in a way I never thought I would and now, I'm living my dream. Becoming a singer has always been my biggest dream but it wasn't my parents's plan. They wanted me to go to college and follow my father's lead. I didn't want to own a school. I hate school. I want to sing. That's what I always wanted to do growing up. So I didn't listen to my parents and blindly followed my dreams instead.

Thorought this whole experience, I made mistakes - an aweful lot of mistakes - but got myself back on track, all thanks to my amazing partner who's been there for me all this time.

Ashton Irwin, I love you.
