Hollie-Anne Brooks dresses for the night before her "birthday"

My mother is a beautiful woman, at 44, she looks more beautiful than any super model and her cute words of wisdom never fail to wow me. This time last year I was undergoing a major manic period and I spent 2 weeks ruining myself. Tomorrow marks the day when it all came to a head and i'm the luckiest girl in the world to still be here. Anniversaries can be quite sad but my mum turned this one around: "Tomorrow is your other birthday, the start of the rest of your life began on that night" I now feel secure in tomorrow. It's my 1st birthday tomorrow and we'll celebrate the start of the new Hollie-Anne Brooks- the journalist, the student and the girl who has found the love of her life.
