“Only regret the things you don't do”
― Nicola May

“When you succeed, there’s no one to be proud of you, when you fail or do something wrong, there’s no one to be disappointed in you. It’s down to you to put that pressure on yourself, to make yourself proud – and that’s when you find out who you truly are.”
― Nicola May, The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay

“At this time of year, we’re bombarded with images of perfect lives, which bear as little relation to reality as tinsel does to gold.”
