123. Is Stubbornness Kryponite or A Superpower?

Well, hello.

I am now living on my own in sunny south London and I have to say I didn’t know how I was going to feel but I am thriving. The peace and solitude are amazing.

Phew!

Wouldn’t have it any other way!

chameleonFor a while now, when I meet someone the first thing they usually tell me is that I look tired. I have tried laughing it off and telling people that I look worse than I feel and you can only want to throw something at someone so many times. The truth is I am either all right at that particular moment, tired or knackered. Unfortunately, I endure more of the latter two than anything else.   Read More »
