My Izobel.
Sometimes.
She gets left in the corner.
And I hate it.
So if it ever happens these days.
You can be sure it’s because of something worthwhile.
Play.
Sometimes.
Izobel wants me to play.
And I can’t.
Because I’m developing Always Wear Red.
Or Old Post Office.
Or I’m helping others to build their brands.
Advising them.
Writing for them.
And it’s because these things I do take me away from my daughter.
That I do them in exactly the way I want to.
Making damn sure that I enjoy it.
Lose Twice.
In life.
You can lose twice.
And so many people do.
I know I used to.
Doing work I didn’t really ‘feel’.
Work that also took me away from those I loved.
And it’s fucking stupid.
Izobel.
My Izobel.
