“I’ve known her all my life. Like most of my friends. I’ve never realised how paralysing that can be. You can’t change when people have always known you. If you do something different, they think you’re either having a breakdown or you fancy yourself as something special. You’re in a box and you’re supposed to stay there. And you know what the awful thing is? You made that box for yourself when you were a teenager. You didn’t even know it was a box. I’m starting to appreciate why so many people emigrate. New life, fresh start.”
