    Anyone abusing Rashford and Sancho and Saka is a national disgrace.

    21 years ago this summer I nearly died by suicide because I knew I’d never be happy again. Today I put away the dishes then stood in the garden and let summer rain soak me to my skin. I felt so alive and quietly euphoric I wanted to reach back through time to tell me I was wrong.

    I am tired. I drank some wine. I have eaten too much chocolate. Everyone is asleep. But I just heard The Midnight Library has now sold over a million copies worldwide and I wanted to tell someone. I am so grateful people seem to like this book. Happy bunny day.

    You don’t have to be Facebook friends with people who made you feel terrible at school. You are fortyfuckingfive.

    I have found this magical land. I think it is called ‘Scotland’.

    Left around 30 copies of the Midnight Library around Brighton today. Was fun.

    There is no better role model for young people than someone who places their mental health above public expectation.

    Journalist asked why I still have bouts of depression if I have a lovely family and a career going well. This is not how illness works.

    Just popping by to tell all the people who say that Meghan Markle was lying about being suicidal that you are an absolute disgrace. And you also know nothing at all.

    We have no control over who people think we are. So don’t worry. If they want to hate a fictional version of you that lives in their mind, let them. Don’t drain yourself trying to be understood by people who insist on not understanding you. Keep your cup full. Go to the kindness.

    Bit bored today so on the dog walk I stopped by various park benches all over Brighton and left some signed copies of The Midnight Library for anyone who fancies a book.

    Yesterday it was August. Three days ago it was July. Tomorrow it is October. This is how time works now.
