After the third time someone’s late, we can’t be friends any more.
Discrimination, for any reason.
Self-importance, arrogance.
The ability to stress me out.
I’d have gone solo sooner.
Having no way of earning money.
On stage at the Brixton Academy on the third night of the residency I did there. I walked out and could not stop crying, some sort of mad relief that it’s all paid off and it’s all been worth it.
Most of the people I dated between 23 and 33. It feels crazy to me that I ever thought that I could be anyone’s girlfriend before I figured out the things I’ve now figured out.
I had some gynaecological issues that were very sudden, about 18 months ago, and felt that I might be dying. I wasn’t but it was quite serious.
My internalised misogyny that still manages to cloud some of my thinking.
