I grew up in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, a small country in the east of East of Europe.
I had long light brown hair, I was skinny and had blue eyes. I was just like any other kid, I ate too much chocolate and watched Cartoon Network (it was in English, so I hadn't a bloody clue what the multi-coloured charachters were saying but it never mattered). I talked too loud, I played with my Barbie and Bratz dolls for days on end, I fought with my sister (my trademark move was biting- I was the ultimate brat of a child haha), I loved talking walks in the beautiful city centre and I was always crushing on some boy, just like any other girl in the world.
Then, when I was 8 years old, I moved to Ireland. Throughout the years, I cut off my hair, I wore glasses and then got contacts that highlighted my blue eyes once again. I finished primary school and started secondary school (where I am now), I moved towns, I fantasized about what I wanted to become in the future, I read, I wrote, I created my own style and I self-taught myself how to do my hair and makeup.
I don't think half of those things would have happened to me if, one day in a cold and breezy December, my family hadn't decided to hop on the next plane to Ireland (obviously it didn't happen that fast but you get me). Maybe in some parallel universe somewhere, if they exist, I am still back in Vilnius, doing god knows what.
Anyway, that's the short summary of my short life. This week is midterm- a whole week off from school (about feckin' time:D) and so I will be putting up an another blog- one related to fashion, but what exactly about, you will find out soon.
