I find her fascinating.


'Nobody can predict what Lindsay will do next. Her vows about straightening out, getting serious, coming good are made in absolute earnest. She is trying. Why can't the world see she is trying? And if, in the long-term, she is capable of steering her course away from self-destruction, then all that promise and all that talent may be enough the reshape this character, for the scandal to be written off as youthful folly; part of the bumpy voyage of brilliance.
But even if the script were written, there is no guarantee Lindsay would follow it. It is the uncertainty that captivates us. So you continue to watch her swaying in the breeze, weaving along the brink, and hope that, at some point, she finds a steady hand to hold on to.'

I spent an unhealthy amount of time sat in waterstones today, just reading through every Post secret i could get my hands on. These books by frank Warren are one of the simplest pleasures i have had in my life recently, some of them make me giggle, some of them make me think, i have to admit i was close to tears more than once, but the best thing you can gain from these little snippets of a strangers heart and soul, is just to know that we are not so alone after all...
