    The act of feeling frustrated is an essential part of the creative process. Before we can find the answer — before we can even know the question — we must be immersed in disappointment, convinced that a solution is beyond our reach. We need to have wrestled with the problem and lost. Because it’s only after we stop searching that an answer may arrive.

    I hope this is true. I could use this as a mantra right now.

    Saw King Creosote yesterday at Shepherds Bush Empire. I was very lucky to get a ticket.

    Feel so happy when I think about everything that happened last night.

    Even the freezing cold walk from Bank tube station to Shoreditch.

    What did it mean for a person to be free? She would often ask herself. Even if you managed to escape from one cage, weren’t you just in another, larger one?

    This makes me almost want to cry.

    Here’s the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, “bonus” relationships to the truly important ones. Women’s friendships outlast jobs, parents, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and sometimes children.

    Shoreditch Grind

    I’ve been sitting in my flat drinking good coffee and listening to music in my underwear all day. How lazy, how good. 

    Sometimes it is nice to have a little space, especially as I haven’t really had any in the last two years. To be honest, I mostly didn’t want any.

    This week he surprised me by saying he’s going skiing in Austria until Sunday so I can have the flat to myself.

    I think he just needed to get away from this flat. I don’t blame him. I’m scared sometimes that I’m just repressing how much I still might love him.

    I honestly feel like I’ve really changed though. I’m not a different person to what I’ve ever been, I’m just an old version of myself.

    Life is a funny thing with the twists and turns
    And in the bad times it just breaks and burns.
    But as you get older you just live and learn
    And shrug your shoulders and be the bigger man.
    But, I remember nights in December
    Fairy lights and torn up wrapping paper and happy times…

    It’s Christmas eve and I feel like I’m giving up on something so special.

    It hurts so badly.

    I like to hold myself to an impossible standard of beauty so I don’t notice the fact that I’m worthy of love.
