Who is Alex?

My name is Alex and I live in North London, but I was born in Rwanda and was brought over here by my father. I only have one sibling – a brother- his name is Simon and we have been through and witnessed a lot together. I say to my dad that I want and hope to go back to Africa one day, however he isn’t so keen. My dad was a war photographer; he’s done photography in awful and traumatic settings, one being the Rwanda Genocide, hence the reason he doesn’t want me going back. I can’t go into any further detail about that today, maybe another time? Anyway, I’m currently studying at Cambridge University and I absolutely love it. I have a passion for art and my dad says I’m amazing at it, but I haven’t seen him in like 6 months, for all I know he might not even like it anymore. I want to know  my past in order to know where I’m going but I feel like I’m being stopped, like something is being hidden from me. I dunno I’ve just come to a point in my life where I feel like I should be doing more. Honestly I‘m actually really confused and slightly angry. Well, that basically sums up me! Bye guys and make sure you keep reading my blog!

From Alex.
