A Novel Idea
I'm going to buy an old leather coat and wear it as a second skin, toughen up and take on the world. If he hurts me again, I'll laugh it off and go my own way.
I can do this, because I know some amazing people. I was napping on the sofa earlier and I woke up with a blanket over me, realising that Duncan had covered me up. He dates my house mate, and has children with my best friend, he gives me cigarettes whenever we are in his car and he brings Krispy Kreme's back from Birmingham and always saves me one.
I know people who buy me drinks whenever we go out, curl my hair, let me eat all of their biscuits, let me live with them for months on end, people who tell me they love me without me having to ask, people who pay for train tickets and people who make plans with me. They all do so much for me.
I can run, I can skip, I can dance, I can sing, I can smell the autumn rain, I can hear the Cathedral bells peal all day long, every 15 minutes, so I always know what time it is.
I have a world to write about, a universe to paint and so many future memories to photograph and look back on when I am old and eccentric and more wonderful than ever, and smile to myself and think "I wish I realised back then how lovely I was".
