job time
When I was a student, I had a part time job as a barmaid at a dodgy pub in Kent.
dream reality ends
Every time my dreams threaten to become reality, something always happens and I end up alone.
thinking taste film
As Carrie Fisher once said in a film, everyone thinks they have good taste and a sense of humour.
people matter known
Nothing like being with people you’ve known almost your entire life. Having a shared history is something you just can’t create with the new ones. No matter how much you like that, it just isn’t the same.
disappointment thinking perfect
It's about thinking that being blond & slim & perfect will automatically bring you happiness, & then discovering that life is as full of as many disappointments as there were before.
home house time-and-love
Anyone can live in a house, but homes are created with patience, time and love.
broken-heart song morning
That's how it is with relationships, it's a part of life, and all the great love songs and poems and films have been written by people who were standing where I was that morning as Simon shut the door. Doesn't make it any easier though.
long painful
And then there was him, the long and painful love of her life.
tired past makeup
I want someone who will adore me so much that they cannot even walk past me without touching me in some way. I want someone who will worship me, even when.. I'm sitting around in fluffy slippers with no makeup on and hair scraped back. I'm sick and tired of being on my own. Most of the time I'm fine. Some of the time I even quite enjoy it. But at this precise moment in time I'm fed up with it. I've had enough..
hurt giving cynical
I wish I could be hard and cynical. That I could take things slowly, not give too much of myself, because I'd be so frightened of getting hurt that there wouldn't be any other way. But no. every time I meet someone I dive in headfirst, showering them with love and attention, and hoping that this time they're going to be different.
sarcastic writing sarcasm
When I first started writing, I was living in England and I had that uniquely English sense of sarcasm, which has definitely seemed to have left me. I am a naturalized American and my sensibility has become far more American.
pain joy someone-you-love
It's all well and good saying you avoid pain by avoiding relationships, but what about the wonderful things you're avoiding as well? What about the joy and the intimacy and the trust that come with finding someone you love?
letting-go running track
Sometimes in life, you have to make things happen. That you can change your life if you're willing to let go of the old and actively look for the new. That even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
reality long trying
Fantasies are absolutely safe, as long as you never try to make them a reality.
