In the last year, when I realised that I didn’t want to be in the relationship that I was in.

Couple of days ago, reading a thank-you note my parents had left after we celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in Wyoming.

23 June last year. The fact that certain people have chosen for us to come out of Europe is one of the saddest, divisive and unthought-through events in my lifetime.

I last shed a tear when my nephew, who is under 10, announced that he was learning the trombone. When I was about the same age and wanted to learn the trumpet, a music teacher said: “The trumpet isn’t for you. You’ve got too-thick lips.”

I wish I could be more patient. I always want things to get done or happen now.

When you’re younger you confuse love with chaos and passion and, as I’ve gotten older, I realise that love is the opposite: it’s peace and it feels safe, like home.

That everything happens for a reason.

Working as a waitress in a cocktail bar in Shoreditch, London.

Silly, loving and, as an Aries, passionate.

When I was 17, my friends and I threw a fashion show for a breast cancer charity. Breast cancer is something my mum went through when I was 14, so prevention is very close to my heart. Our singer, who was performing during the fashion show, dropped out at the last minute so I had to step in. It’s on video, and my sister always brings it up.
