It was during an October half-term break that I finally decided to put my feelings into a book. To be honest, I started writing this book to help people understand what it is like to worry and how it feels to carry this weight on a daily basis. Throughout my life, I always wanted to be confident and often seen myself as the worrier of the group. As a teacher, I fully understand the worries of a child and often put myself in their shoes to fully appreciate what they are thinking. Quite often, I will have flash backs and how I felt when I was younger. After writing this book, I moved to the UAE (United Arab Emirates) to teach. For the first time in my life, I fully understand the meaning of my life and my role to help others. The journey that started when I typed the initial words of this book, 'To be honest' to the last email from the publisher to say that the book was complete, was an amazing journey that has transformed my life. I grew up in a small rural area called Moneyglass in Northern Ireland. I loved my life in the country and it always was a place where I could think and plan my thoughts. From a young age, I worried about what life would mean for me and how others would perceive me. It is my hope, that this book acts as a window to show people the complexities of what it is like to have daily worries through the mind of a child. Throughout my life, my mother, Margaret, has always believed in me and I can't thank her enough. No matter what I did, or what I did wrong, she was always there to tell me that everything would be alright in the morning.
