"I too am 39, turning 40 next year, and to celebrate am taking my first trip to Paris with my sister-in-law, who will be 50. I can honestly say that I look forward to getting older every year. Each year I feel a little more accomplished, a bit wiser and view myself and humanity with more compassion. There is a lot of negative press around ageing. But what we’re not told is how freeing it can be. I no longer place so much importance on how I am perceived by others."
Australia Vogue letters, January 2012
The Weight of Water - Olivia Bartley
Olivia is my friend & she is divine! She kept me sane through many long hours working for the Government as a contractor.

In the US, it’s cool to be a redhead. But I had some Brit friends I was working with in Thailand and they kept calling me “ginger” and one guy was a redhead and he said, “Oh, I get made fun of all the time in England.” I thought they were pulling my leg but I was at the airport waiting to fly home and I heard, “Ginger, ginger!” And there were these British guys, calling me “ginger”. So I hear there’s a stigma in your country, which is bizarre.’

i don’t like wallowing on this blog, or to others really, so i just don’t. then i just run around in my own head, trying to read magazines or listen to music just to get some quiet from all those tiny little things that niggle - being rejected for jobs, a mouth full of ulcers. earning rubbish money. the how-will-i-pay-off-the-credit-card freak out. how will i love this place. how will i not miss my friends and not miss my boy at the same time, how will i, how can i change this.
i’m always frozen by fear, “feel the fear and do it anyway!” - like what? quit working in government and do what? how do people actually do it.
no self-help article has ever paid anyone’s rent.

Florence + the Machine “Spectrum”
And when we come back we’ll be dressed in black
And you’ll scream my name aloud
And we won’t eat and we won’t sleep
We’ll drag bodies from a ground

Gotye “Save Me”
Dedicated to my one and only, Brenna.
& you gave me love
when I could not love myself
& you made me turn
from the way I saw myself
& you’re patient, love
& you help me help myself
& you save me
& you save me
