At first glance, I look just like your average 20-something-year-old woman, you probably think I have a job, a busy social life, and do all of the things a woman in her 20’s does. But you couldn’t be more wrong.

Back in December 2020, I tripped and fell into Bullet Journal Instagram. As someone with a creative streak I don’t indulge in nearly often enough and a crippling need for order and organisation, I’d found the answer to a question I didn’t realise I was even looking to answer. I knew, then and there, that I needed to join the Bullet Journal revolution.

Binarism is the way Western, colonialist, imperialist philosophy transforms the achingly beautiful breadth of experience into the heartache of rigid, violent divisions. It is a fundamental building block to anti-Indigeneity, to racism, to exorsexism, to transphobia, to ableism, to homophobia, to acephobia, .... It is divide and conquer, a tool to fracture us across a dozen fault lines, one group taking resources by subjugating another and destroying the rest.

I go through phases when it comes to addressing people. For a long time, ‘man’ was my go-to. Yeah man. Thanks man. You’re standing on my foot, man. For a while I moved onto ‘dude’, because I’m a bit of a slacker and it felt apt. I’ve never been much of a ‘pal’ guy: I feel you have to look at least a bit hard to say pal, and I look like Tin Tin, so.

The boy and I remained close friends for years. He was perturbed and irritated by the fact that I was now apparently a lesbian, partly because he believed it made his already poor social standing significantly worse. He once told me that he had never mentioned my new relationship to his dad because it would make him look 'less of a man'. He was convinced that other boys and men would assume he was in some way inadequate and had therefore 'turned' me.

All that my parish priest had done with people’s donations, though, is cover the crucifix in gold. I wasn’t quite sure how that would work, but probably Jesus would feel flattered and improve the fate of the poor around the world. So either Aunt Gianna really hoped for the best, or she liked to fool herself.

The raucous scream of gulls, wheeling overhead, fighting over scraps of left-over sandy picnics. Well, that’s what I first thought of when I thought about “My Favourite Childhood Memory”, but then I realised that memories are very much like when someone asks you what your favourite song is.

Whenever I think about what I want for my kids, after the obvious things like good health and happiness, it’s that they have a best friend. I mean, a proper best friend.

There are women out there, living alone or who have children, and who are still struggling, each and every day with making ends meet financially as a big chunk of their salary is being taken up by the cost of rent.

So, if monogamy is so widely accepted as ‘normal’, default, and plastered all over the media (who else watched The One?), why are open relationships so attractive to some?

This in itself seems to me both misguided and somewhat patronising. How are we to judge what an acceptable level of interest in politics is before you are knowledgeable enough to include such a disclaimer?

I can’t remember the exact moment we first met, I guess that has something to do with being so much older now and memory fading over time but I do know that Rob has been in my life since we were young.

For me, my happiest moment wasn’t a stand alone event, it was one moment that crystallised and encompassed years of happiness between me and my best friends.

I didn’t know how to start the conversation so I cleared my throat and said, ‘Are you ok?’ There was a slight movement of her head as her eyes peeked at me between the top of her head and the linked arms.
