In 2017 my friend took me to the bookshop of my dreams. ... Five years later, in 2022, I went back to sign copies of my book they were selling. ... But I’m not here to sell you a dream. The five years in between were long, hard, heartbreaking and filled with people who helped me get here. ... Nothing exists in isolation, least of all your success. So if you’re out here stunting for the gram and talking about how you made it all by your damn self and how no one works as hard as you, please know that I think you’re a moron. ... I started at the bottom....(with lots of my mates)....and through blood, sweat and sobs, we pulled and pushed one another, and now we here. ... Thank you @alison.malee for bringing me here. Thank you @strandbookstore for selling my book. ... #TheseImpossibleThings
