Life was pretty tough for me growing up, you see I didn’t live a normal life like you probably did. I lived alone on a deserted island. I’m not really sure how I came to be there, it wasn’t something I really thought about.

I didn’t have time to sit and wonder about my life, because I had to spend every waking minute looking for my next meal. I couldn’t go to a supermarket or get a takeaway, I had to hunt and fish and eat whatever I could find.

The first thing I did when I woke up every morning was go down to the ocean and try to spear a fish. It wasn’t easy, the fish were really fast, but I persevered and sometimes I got lucky.

I lived off wild berries and plants that grew on the island. Sometimes I would come across a bird egg in a nest and I would cook it over a fire made from twigs.

I had made a shelter to sleep in, but it wasn’t very comfortable and when it rained the water would come running through the ceiling and soak me in my bed. Sometimes, when I was lying there, I would imagine that one day someone would come and rescue me. But of course that never happened.

I tried not to think too much about the future, because if I did it would make me depressed. Instead I just concentrated on my daily tasks. One of my biggest concerns was finding fresh water to drink.
