I’ve never had the desire to seem like a normal person, so people make fun of me all the time, particularly the people I love.

Even my own children take joy in pointing out my many mistakes, it’s my preferred state of affairs. I often only warm up to someone once they get comfortable criticising me.

I always feel safe in this place, because it’s here I see how quickly people stop the teasing if I seem even slightly uncomfortable with it. I do not need to explain.
