To Jamaica, With Love
The definition of homesickness? I used to think it was a joke. Homesickness never really applied to me. I’ve lived in England for as long as I could remember. I can still see the day when the first wave of Homesickness hit me. It was in July last year, when I went to Italy with my big sister. It was the strangest feeling. I’ve only ever left England once since moving there, but I never missed it then. I have always prided myself on my resilience to bounce back from things and never let them keep me down. So while I was missing England on my first night in Italy, the next day I was fine, and my sister and I went exploring. When we came back to England I thought this…for the first time in my life, “It’s good to be home.” Only, England wasn’t my home. Not in the general sense anyway.

The Day I Met Jennifer Niven
Jan 14, 2017 I still remember the day I found out I was going to get the chance to meet her. It was a Tuesday, and I was in my local Waterstones just passing the time reading, looking at what books I wanted to buy next, even though they cost me an arm and a leg. Then on this plaque was a notice about a book event that was going to happen on Friday the 18th of November 2016, just six days before I turned twenty-two. I could not believe what I was reading. It read “Jennifer Niven and….(There was another lady, only I cannot remember her name) to be at Waterstones for a Q&A…” I thought my eyes were playing a trick on me. I’ve never had the best eye sight… or memory, come to think of it. But I rushed to the counter and asked the lady there to just confirm for me that I was not hallucinating, that what I read was true. And it was. I then bought a ticket for the event right on the spot. I was so excited when I left the store that day. I even had to call my mom and let her know I’d be late coming over for the weekend as there was something important I had to do. She was cool. (She lives in Stourbridge).
