“Let’s say that’s true, no, let’s say you have a monster inside you, all the time, pulling at your strings, tormenting you, itching to see you fail, well join the club, come on in because if you do, if all of that is true, then this is where you prove your worth, by fighting it, by defying it, by proving it wrong, by standing toe to toe with it every day and spitting in its face.”

I worked my way up from the kitchens and found her sitting on our bed, she didn’t look frightened, or even surprised, just disappointed. She told me not to blame myself, she said it was stupid of her to think she could change me. I agreed, then laughed”

“The idea… the way other folks say it is I mean..it’s our family instruct us, is it not? to tell us who we are, how we should be? Without that instruction it’s hard sometimes I find to er, to make sense of ourselves, what we want, what is right.”
