I've always had a huge love of music, I'm not sure when it started but I feel like I've been a musician all my life. It's been really hard trying to make a living from my music, especially now that I am trying to get myself back on track. The reason I'm in my current situation is that I separated from my partner of 7 years. After this, I experienced severe rental issues which led me to stay in an array of B&Bs and then eventually I was street homeless.
Even though I will always pursue music in some way, for now, it's important for me to get some financial stability and do some meaningful work alongside my music. I've decided to go into support work as I've always been drawn to the idea of caring for other people. I've volunteered in Cardiff for organizations that supported people with mental health issues. My role involved providing companionship and accompanying people into town and helping them with daily activities.
I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to pursuing this career further. I feel like I am a caring, peaceful person who has respect for all individuals. I like socializing and I meditate and do yoga and I feel like my natural sense of calm makes me a great fit for this role. I'm also really passionate about working with vulnerable people so I know I'll enjoy it.
