1. In the past, I travelled alone a great deal. It never struck me as odd until I recently went back through my old photographs and realised just how many travel pictures have been taken with a self timer. Fact is, I was happier alone on the other side of the world than I was at home with the person I thought I was going to marry. It’s only in retrospect I can see just how miserable I was. __ On the flipside, if you were to scroll through photographs of me since I met her, you’d see the oddest thing. I appear to get younger the longer we’ve been together. No lie. __ (Photograph of me, alone, upstairs at 451F in Amsterdam.)
