Play 2023 / The Best Of The Year

 

“I was at that exhilarating moment in time when you’re leaving middle age and realising you don’t have to work towards the concept of future happiness any longer. Lying beside the person you love, watching the sun come in, can be it. Going to the pub with your mates can be the ultimate. Don’t waste energy seeking happiness elsewhere. It’s been right there in front of you the whole time.”
