I'm proud of what I write and feel endorsed by my readers.

I've always been melancholic. At a party, everyone would be looking at the glittering chandeliers and I'd be looking at the waitress's cracked shoes.

I'd rather eat nothing than eat a carrot.

My truth is that what doesn't kill you makes you weaker rather than stronger, although it makes you wiser.

No more humiliation for me, thanks very much. No more swallowing my anger. Honestly, I couldn't manage another mouthful. But it was delicious. Did you make it yourself?

The old Chinese proverb springs to mind - No pain, no gain.

I'm quite introverted but I'm not shy.
