I am feeling a little lost for inspiration at the moment. Or maybe a little lost in general. Things are changing, always changing. I am about to turn 28 and I have no idea where I’m going or what I’m doing. And this is fine, of course. In fact, sometimes it’s great and I wouldn’t want it any other way. But there are moments when I think about the strange order in which I do things, in which I’ve done things, and I wonder how it got like this. How did we get here? And I don’t mean just you and I, I mean everyone. How did you get here? What are you doing?

But then I look at this photo of Oprah and I realise that everything is going to be ok. It has to be. After all, this is all there is.

I actually think it’s one of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen. I might re-create it.

I know it’s just pre-birthday restlessness. I’ll be fine in a few days. xx

Hi Vic!

I’m a recent reader of your blog and love it! Thanks for saying what many people think often. Oprah is hilarious…

I think everyone goes through this trauma when it is birthday time. We think another year older and what have I achieved. In your short life you have achieved what most people only dream of in a life time. Look back and cherish but keep looking forward – there’s a lot more to see yet. xx

I got here via the interwebs and I’m wondering what to give you for your birthday.
Send me your new address, woman!

Is it possible Oprah is losing it…? Just a little?

I just want to say thank you for sharing this wild bobble-headesque montage of Oprah because when I’m going through a hard time, I know this will be the first thing I come back to!

Keep breathing your way through all the uncertainty! Good luck.

HANG ON WHAT! You’ve been on Oprah twice? As in on the show or in the audience? This is so important I am about to txt you for the answer. LOVE YOU.

Loving your work, Vic. Not sure if this is comforting or not (I hope it is) but I’m 31 and frequently have a case of the what-why-hows. I have no idea why I did everything in the weird order I did or where it’s all going to end up either. I think the point is that we’re doing. Only not doing leads nowhere. We’ll get there in the end (wherever there may be…) x ps The Boy just came in and saw the Oprah spread. The look of sheer bewilderment on his face was hilarious: great blogging skills.
