International Women’s Day: the freedom not to be perfect
Today is International Women’s Day, and I’m writing this from the dining table while listening to Radio 3 Unwind. I’m sitting down with my laptop and a going-cold cup of tea, after Virginia Woolf’s famous essay A Room of One’s Own popped into my head. In it, she reflects that for a woman to write fiction, she needed two things: money and a room of her own (ideally with a door that closes). What she really meant, perhaps, was time to think and the freedom to exist inside her own mind.

Stop - Just Stop it right now
"Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm; when we look at each other, we must say, I understand.
