At the birth of my children; when Lennox Lewis was crowned undisputed world heavyweight champion; and the day I had my final gender reassignment operation.
During the first three months of the first lockdown. I was at home with my family and I was such a cliche: I was baking sourdough, making my own granola. It was an idyllic time.
This morning. I had a typical day: got up early, took the dog for a walk, went to the gym for an hour, then wrote for four hours. That makes me a very happy person.
Now. When I see my two children enjoying each other's company.
Running out of time.
Curious, confident, cheerful.
Three times when I lived in New York, I missed seeing David Bowie in real life by moments.
Too high an expectation of others and myself.
I think we become stars.
Losing my husband. We are properly codependent.
