This isn’t my favourite quote. It’s the favourite quote of my friend. She’s terminally ill and this reminds me how bloody brave she is. I’m actually having this quote tattooed on my foot this month. Read about her and you’ll understand why it means so much to me.
#BEDA Day Two: 20 Facts About Me
Writing twenty facts about yourself is easy isn’t it? But why would anyone want to know the colour of my eyes, or my favourite colour?
