Happy birthday, Isolde! I also had my birthday on 2nd of June (turned 42), and as I reflected on the year(s) passed too, I can confirm without a doubt that it's all going to be ok. Not just ok, it's going to be better with every year that passes!! You'll get to know yourself better and better, you'll know what kind of lifestyle you want and dare live it, you'll know what you can't accept and you will reject it without any second thought. You'll care so much less what society tries to impose on us, laugh in its face and confidently live life on your terms! It gets better because you care to impress less, you'll care to fit in less if it means ignoring what feels good for you.
OK, sermon is over... I too am shocked that Diana died when she was just 36?!?! What? I was definitely not grown up (although already divorced) at 36...
If at least 4 other people comment that they feel shockingly un-grown-up as well, I think we have to re-evaluate what that means because WE can't ALL be feeling un-grown up at the same time, can we? Then to be grown-up must mean something different altogether. Right?
Oh I loved that too! Such a fantastic novel - and the portrayal of Frank was just fantastic. She has a new one out that I will probably read this summer

Currently reading (and loving) Cleopatra & Frankenstein by Coco Mellors.
