I Love Being Able To Take A

I've Never Been All That Interested Or Aware Of What People Are Thinking About Me Or Saying About Me. I Think That Has Kept Me Safest And Sanest.

I've Also Learned To No Longer Feel Guilty If I'm Invited Out And Don't Want To Go. If I Start To Say To Myself, 'what's Wrong With You That You're Staying In Five Nights In A Row To Watch 'forensic Files' Instead Of Going Out With Your Friends' I Remind Myself That It's What I Need To Do For Myself At That Point.

I Have Lots Of Friends And, Like Me, They're Not Married. So My Kids Have Lots Of Godparents - Men And Women, Gay And Straight. My Loft Is Always Filled With People Helping Me Out With Them And Loving Them.

I Don't Have Examples In My Life Of People Who Are All Good Or Bad; I Have Deeply Loved Many People Who Are Both, And I Relate To Those Kinds Of People On A Far Greater Level.

I Never Really Wanted Kids. I Didn't Not Want Them, But Motherhood Just Wasn't Something That Pulled At Me.
