"Basically cutting all communication with my family. I moved away from them almost instantly after my sister died and to be honest I didn't really want to be near them. But then they moved away - all the way to America if you'd believe - and well we didn't really talk much at all. I was such a wreck after the accident that I made some poor choices, I cut bonds that should never be cut and I regret it all. I don't regret moving to London one bit, I was planning on doing it anyway, it's the way that I moved, the rush in which I did the move and the near non-existent goodbye that I gave my family. When they told me they were moving to a whole other country I barely wished them luck, I was a cold and emotionless when my family moved away. I never want to do that again. But they didn't make much of an effort to fix things there either, I got a letter last christmas telling me how everyone was and that was about it. I'm hoping to reconnect with them now though, I'm a little frightened about the trip and about seeing them again. I don't think they know how successful I've been with my career, all I want is for them to be happy for me."
"Um well, I'm not too sure what to say here because I have too many. I'm quite fond of most of the memories I have with Spring - we had the best times. One memory does stand out from the rest at the moment though, so I'll go with that one. I think I was twenty, maybe twenty one when Spring and I went for our very first trip overnight trip to London on our own, just the two of us. It was an exciting thing at the time, we were young and I was the responsible older one which was exciting and empowering. It was one of those make it up as you go trip and we stayed in a fancy hotel with room service and all that - there was a spa that got some attention too. We didn't leave the room, we spent a good two hours in the spa drinking wine and after that were ordered food and danced the night away rather drunkenly. We broke the television and stained the white sheets with wine but it was worth it, even the bill at the end. I'd love to go back to that night now, but time travel isn't a thing, sadly. Oh wait, there's another memory that just came to me, I don't know how I could forget this honestly. It wasn't long after I move to London, I had just started at the law firm that I'm with now, so this would have been roughly a year and a half ago. I was lost, no that's not the part I love and cherish, a man approached me and offered to help me. Of course I told him I was okay and didn't need his help and he sort of went on his way - which was him walking off a little and sitting on a bench nearby as I looked at my phone and at the street names. Our eyes met a few times while I looked and worried and after about fifteen minutes I approached him and told him that I needed his help. He took me to address and joked that I owed him a drink. I agreed to the drink because I didn't think i'd see him again, London is a huge place and how was I to know that in only a few short days I'd see him again. I bought him that drink and now we're engaged."
"There's no pondering this one, I have one memory that is the worst. Really it's painful to recall but I'll do my best for you. it was two years ago, Spring and I were taking a day trip to London as we often did. This time we were going to be looking at some places for me to rent - she wasn't going to be moving with me but she was going to help me look for somewhere. We were listening to the radio, payphone by maroon five was playing - the song still makes me remember the day - and we were signing and it was all fun and great until the car went off the road and into a tree, killing her. I was driving so it's a given that I blamed myself and really I am to blame, I should have been paying more attention. If I could I'd go back and fix it but like I said before, time travel is sadly not possible."
"Ever since I was young I was one of those girls who dreams of meeting a great man, getting married and having children. I'm still that girl and well I'm getting close to crossing two out of three things off that list. I've definitely met a great man, I can not imagine myself with anyone else at this point. I want two boys and two girls and to live in a big country house with horses for the girls and bikes for the boys and a garden for me to tend to when I'm not working - so a simple garden because my job takes up a lot of my time. I know I'll have the closest thing I can to that if I work hard for it and that's just what I'm doing. One day I'll be living my dream and I am so close I can taste it."
"I have a number of these, some I've had since I was young - spiders and clowns - and some that have developed as I've gotten older and things have happened. I am terrified that something bad will happen to someone I care deeply about, I know sometimes I can worry too much about Leo's safety while he's not in my sight and then even sometimes when he is in my sight. I know he hates me worrying about him so much but I'm just scared of losing him in some accident. I'm also scared of losing my family, even if I don't talk to them - I swear I'm going to change that."
