Alex Scott

Prophecy, however honest, is generally a poor substitute for experience.
All the praise I received couldn't substitute for the praise I had never received from my mother at home. I longed for some wonderful man to come and save me from my life - but there didn't seem to be any, at least not for me.
A few years back, when my style was 'punk grandma,' I picked up an amazing pair of sandals - orthopaedic ones, with really thick soles. I've given them away to a friend now, because these days my look is more '1980s substitute teacher gone wild.'

I admit that Post-it note sheets that adhere to virtually any surface are now my substitute of choice for retention.
