My younger self. I told myself so often that I was not good enough, that I was not smart enough, that I was not interesting enough, that I was boring and ugly. I wasn’t kind to my body, and I did and said things to myself that I would never do or say to a friend.
To my daughters and my partner, Tracey, for what I put them through with my transition.
To anyone I’ve worked with between 5.30am and 8.30am. I am not a morning person.
Anybody who met me before I was 30, because I was a drug addict, and all my relationships were experienced through that prism.
A blurred, warm state of total acceptance and joy.
A trip to a Macedonian refugee camp that I switched out of, to go at a later date. Those who took my place were killed in a horrific car accident.
A mum, an airline stewardess or an artist.
As having been loving and fun.
I wouldn’t have hurt as many people, and I would have thought more before speaking.
