thoughts from me to youWhat’s your ritual?
That second, just after the door bangs, when you realise something bad's about to happen. The email you get that makes your stomach turn over and drop to the floor the moment you read the subject line. The way you question if you're giving away how angry you are by...
Why your future doesn’t matter
I wondered what I'd tell him, if I saw him again today. I hope I'd look him in his annoyingly blue eyes, like I really didn't care, and casually tell him that I didn't know what I wanted my life to look like in five years time; I'd tell him that I didn't know if I...
Mutual bum scratches – the sign of a good Easter?!
