Well I think you can add “a bit too brilliant” to your list as well now!

The prints are fab. I know the perfect person to get this for and that’s officially my first Xmas prezzie purchased, so thank you!

And yes, there was a director like this at Bupa who gradually moulded me into a faint shadow of my true self with his continual “feedback” that I talked too much, was too challenging, was too enthusiastic…. (Seriously - how the actual eff can “too much enthusiasm” be a bad thing in a job? It’s like the concept of “too many ice creams” - it doesn’t exist!)

Oh hurray. Thank you. Ha, it’s exactly like “too many ice creams”. A faint shadow of your true self is such a good description. How brilliant that you aren’t working for him anymore!!!! X

This is a very relatable poem beautifully written. Love it! I’ve definitely been too quiet, too honest, too emotional and too sensitive in my life. But trying to embrace who I truly am without constantly moulding myself into what others want. Your poems make wonderful prints.

I can’t not wait for my prints to arrive, you are a (not) bit too amazing human in my eyes!

I’ve always been a bit too emotional in numerous work places and certainly a bit too outspoken for various “friends” - but you and a certain group of lovely peeps, plus I think growing and realising “fuck it” is a good mantra, has given me confidence that these are actually good traits - bring on the living a bit too much, I say.

Oh they are such good traits. Keep those beauties shining please. I too am enjoying the fuck it attitude that has grown as I’ve got older. Your prints are on their way, yeyyyy x
