Tom
1st place TWIST STORY COMPETITION £200
Apart from writing, Nina Hollier likes crochet, spreadsheets, coffee and giraffes. She started going to a writing class for the opportunity to write something more imaginative than work emails. This is her first time placing in a writing competition, though she did once win a candle in a raffle. She works for BT and lives in Hampshire.
Tom can be very sweet sometimes. He makes me laugh. He knows what to say when I’m feeling sad. We have two bright, chatty little girls. This is exactly how life was supposed to turn out.
I think they will all have to go.
I see my counsellor on Wednesdays.
I came to Heather because of the creeping discomfort I feel about life at home. I’ve told her all about me and Tom and the girls. She says that it would be good for me to find something that is just for me, for fun, something other than work. I’m not sure how I feel about leaving the house by myself, but I do start to think about what I might do. I look at the local adult education centre and ponder learning a language, I fantasise about a new life in France or Japan.
Last Wednesday, Heather asked me if I felt I was practising enough self-care.
I’m never sure what that means. I don’t wear make-up or use an anti-ageing moisturiser or do yoga, but I shower enough. I don’t hurt myself anymore.
