Visiting any shop for the first time is exciting. There's always that buzz as you push open the door; that hope; that belief - that this is going to be the shop of all shops, which will bring you everything you ever wanted, at magically low prices.

If you can't be honest with your friends and colleagues and loved ones, then what is life all about?

Still, that's the point of love; you love someone despite their flaws.

It's not enough to believe! Don't you see that, you stupid girl? You could spend your whole life hoping and believing! If a love affair is one-sided, then it's only ever a question, never an answer. You can't live your life waiting for an answer.

I think a lot of people still fantasise about that first love and what might happen if they rekindled the relationship.

They said I was a valued customer. Now they send me hate mail.

Everyone keeps saying I’ll pick it up. But what if I don’t? I did algebra for three years, and I never picked that up.
