Mentioned I was from Coatbridge on stage and got this heckle. Think I dealt with it alright. Got asked if I was a Celtic fan… I know you’re not meant to pick sides but growing up I was a Rangers fan and still identify as one. Thanks @ThomasCraven90 for filming and editing.

That was funny 😂

All the 18s!!!

Is it acceptable to have two meal deals if you skip breakfast? I’m not saying like have both snacks and drinks… but like double sando is surely okay?

Anyway turns out trains don’t actually go back to where they came from and I was waiting at the wrong side of the station in the end. Thank God reform aren’t in power or run the trains!

I stand there wondering if she was just enthusiastically agreeing with my theory… but my laugh rendered her cheeks red, I think due to embarrassment at potentially being accidentally racist, acknowledging how her statement could’ve been interpreted.

Waiting for the train to Glasgow and a Mum and daughter were loudly talking about how the platform wasn’t announced yet and how annoying it was not knowing. In an attempt to solve the situation with lateral thinking…

I’ve just accidentally worn my slippers out the house and it’s so comfy I wonder why I’ve never done this befor3 - made running for the bus a piece of piss - why haven’t we incorporated more slipper technology in running shoes? Anyway this is my life now. Next step dressing gown!

you’ll get through it. Whatever it is that’s been holding you back or making you feel that jolted feeling, like being thrown about on a bus, not in control of your emotions and where you’re going. Trauma is temporary, pain passes. You will be strong enough to be yourself again.

able to do those things but it’s only now with all the other treatments I can try to get back to where I was when I was 19 physically. The point I attempt to round up with and tell folks in the hopes of letting anyone who needs to hear this know and to remind myself…

TLDR - finally off antidepressants after 15 years and feeling a lot like my old self before I had to shut myself down emotionally when I was 19. Here’s to feeling all those feelings finally. That me one week free of SRIs finally...

I’ll never understand how people can be homophobic. It’s like how can you fear someone when they’re so fabulous?

PSA to all brown people across the globe - STOP MARRYING YOUR COUSINS - please and thank you. It’s like I don’t want my parents to be my aunt and uncle as well as Mum and Dad… I just think it’s wrong having m a Mauntie or a Duncle! Also happy Mother’s/ Auntie’s Day!

Oh look it’s me in book form.
