1. I'm famous, innit...

2. Last night I was chatting to my host Jan about a whole range of life-stuff: pain, womanhood, forgiveness, Buddhism. In a moment of spontaneity, she told me she hugely admired me.

I asked her why that was. She said that she was a 'rescuer', meaning she gravitated towards people that needed her help and tried to save them, but that she had watched me watching myself and trying to grow, and she knew I was immensely strong and didn't need saving. She could see I wanted to do it all on my own.

Jan put it better than my retelling, but I think it's possibly the nicest thing anyone's ever seen in me.
