I live and grew up in Essex and it has been a curse and a blessing. The part of Essex I live in is steeped in sex, drugs and drink. Growing up with SA was a nightmare for many reasons, but it also helped me overcome it somewhat as during my teenage and young adult years I was pretty much dragged around and felt like I had to take part, which I did. It was scary but when I look back, it defenitely helped me overcome a lot of my problems. I'd still rather live somewhere quiet and peaceful though.
