Like you’ve got no other thought in your head.
Like when you get the giggles in a room full of people where you should be quiet.
The best of times, the worst of times.
Hurtful, hard, like concrete but also the soft, silky, smooth, cool pillow that you lay your head on. It’s like birds singing in the morning with the aurora going over your head at night. That’s love for me.
Wearing 90s ripped-at-the-crotch jeans at Rada during an unarmed combat session and showing everyone more than they bargained for.
People who abuse their power to subjugate others.
Competitive, curious, silly.
This year, I was asked to be a judge for the Women’s prize for fiction and I’ve read 75 books in six months, so I’m parking shame for the time being.
As little rubbish to sort through as possible.
To have the courage to fail.
