25-30 is such a weird age group. You have no money and no prospects. You are already a burden to your parents. And you’re frightened.
25-30 is such a weird age group. You have to excel in your career, find a life partner, stay healthy and save money.

I had the best day in the bookshop today but my FAVOURITE moment was a boy (aged 12ish) coming in begging for Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan. He’d started reading it in school yesterday and couldn’t wait to dive back in. He was so surprised that I’d reread them all this year πŸ₯°

He said he wasn’t a β€˜reader’ but the book made him want to read. Such a joy.

Absolutely devastated to hear that Dame Maggie Smith passed away this morning. Maggie’s character work was part of my inspiration to study Drama. Rest, ma’am.

Guys… My stomach doesn’t hurt. It’s a small thing but after so long trying to get everything sorted, it’s just sunk in that I’m pain free. Crying a little because of the relief tbh!

The phlebotomist who did my blood tests (all fine) today was particularly stabby. They’re all stabby, but she seemed to take great delight in it…
