I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.

Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.

I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.

It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone.

Urban women don't breed in their twenties. Shortly after, I became a mother too, which is why I was probably so child friendly.

I had to go to a mirror and look at it. I couldn't picture myself in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn't a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you.

But I think it is always difficult to have high expectations of yourself or anyone else.
