Here's how it is: I feel guilty about every single bite of food that goes into my mouth.
I've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.
I'm proud of what I write and feel endorsed by my readers.
I suppose I wanted to have my cake and eat it. But then again, what were you going to do with your cake if not eat it? Frame it? Use it as a sachet in your underwear drawer?
Love is an emotion. It can't be seen or touched, and it is experienced differently by everyone, therefore it is difficult to measure.
I like hoodies. They just make me feel safe.
For feel-good fiction to work, there has to be an element of darkness.
Every day I wake up afraid that I won't be able to write, that today is the day it has left me.
I still get awful depression. It's who I am.
Love and kindness go hand in hand.
I'm quite introverted but I'm not shy.
I've always been melancholic. At a party, everyone would be looking at the glittering chandeliers and I'd be looking at the waitress's cracked shoes.
No more humiliation for me, thanks very much. No more swallowing my anger. Honestly, I couldn't manage another mouthful. But it was delicious. Did you make it yourself?
How to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans.
