    About this ebook

    Some of you are going to buy this book because you will think that you know me. I hope you are in for a surprise.

    Some of you will remember me as mother, wife, foster mom, Stepmom, friend or maybe just a casual hi.

    I am giving away feelings here that have long been hidden, except on pieces of paper in a folder tucked away from a sometimes hurting world.

    I have reached a point in my life where I feel secure and happy enough to share with you all the love, anger, smiles and tears that has made up my life.

    I hope you all find enjoyment and a little piece of yourself here.

      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      What Are You Really Crying About?

      Jun 14, 2020

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti
