TOLAGA BAY,
UAWA
UAWA
I spent 25yrs' of my life in this place.
Surrounded by nothing else but green everywhere, beaches, fresh air & the freedom and feeling of being safe!
It's the place where HORSES are still used for transport & where you'll find the longest wharf in the Southern Hemisphere.
The place where there are only TWO lanes for vehicles to drive on, the place where we didn't have to
close & lock up everything just so we could go down the road for 5 minutes.
It's the place where most of your friends are actually your cousins!
It's a place where, everyone knows everyone!
&
for most of my days, all I've ever known is country life;
"cities, tall, wide, huge buildings & a bazillion people" are definitely NOT what I was familiar with, that's for sure!
Going to the city meant "a 45 minute drive", "a treat, a sports day or some kind of school event", it was exciting!!
OR, going to the city for me, meant - "a holiday with my cousins"... These were always exciting times... Until my cousin & I started being mean to each other & I'd cry to go home haha!
Growing up though, life consisted of;
- - - - - - - -
S C H O O L:
At the age of 5, I started school - Tolaga Bay Area School.
It goes from age 5 to 7th Form (Year 13).
School years for me were okay. I was always there at like 7.30am sometimes haha faareeekkk!
I must've loved it??! lol

I was into pretty much everything though - yaknow, hanging with friends, break times, free periods haha!
& NOT blowing my trumpet or anything but I was actually really good at & loved all of the school yard activities; like - elastics, hand ball, gutter board, skipping, double dutch, rollerblading, marbles, knuckle bones;

What about the boyfee' stage??? Every girl goes through this stage, right??!!
Boyfriends?? I ended up having one haha funny shit now that I think back, about it.
It was a "disco night" for the teens (no alcohol, just good old music & flashing lights haha!) eww! I can even remember the song that played over and over - Lutricia McNeil "Aint that just the way" haha & a millionnnn' supervisors lol
& my besty at the time (new besty by this age lol) either had a bf or was getting one that night, I can't actually remember lol but,
somehow her & I + the two boys managed to sneak outside and then bolt onto the rugby field, fading into the dark; typical pre-teens ha!
& of corse haha, the four of us split in half ;) ;) ... ..
haha oh god. this makes me laugh so much (all this reminiscing shit haha!) I have not re-visited these memories in a very long time!
RIGHT - back to it lol; yes! that night I got my #MYFIRSTKISS,
Was it a good first kiss? Well, I didn't "pop" my foot like you may have seen on Princess Diaries or "knew he was the one" from that moment ummm haha come on guys! I was only like ELEVEN or TWELVE!!!,
Instead, ones tongue invaded my whole entire mouth, like helloooo' don't be greedy, PLUS, that's my mouth too! and then he hit me with....
"I LOVE YOU"...
WAIT... Whaaaat!!???? where the hell did that even come from LOL, is that how a first kiss goes?? straight to
the L word!!??? >>> Fast forward to a month later -
he dumped me & I actually think I was sad!?? hahaha Omg! pre-teens are so hilarious!!
OK, OK!
