I'm 23 years of age. I live in Wales and i feel i can offer advice as I've experience a lot of difficulties in my life and i feel i can lend people my shoulder to cry on or lend them an ear or a different perspective on things.

I am currently in a relationship and i couldn't ask for a better boyfriend.

I will always be honest with people and i'll always offer the best advice i can.
