Then, at the beginning of 2022, we got the big push we needed to start. Monika and LipJ, two dancers from the survival show Street Woman Fighter, were cast in the reality TV programme DIY Family. The two were members of the same dance crew, Proudman, and like Hana and me, have been living together for years. Before the show was broadcast, the producers called us to explain that they were creating a show focusing on found families, and asked for permission to name their show after the phrase ‘DIY family’, which they’d come across in our book. Imagine our surprise when we turned on the TV to see LipJ recommending our book to the world! This is our moment! Now’s our chance! We named our podcast and recorded our first two episodes, ‘DIY Family? Here’s Where it All Started’ and ‘Being in Your Forties Isn’t So Bad’
I hope you’ll think about something that makes you happy, and if there’s that something, I hope you’ll try shouting, ‘Happiness is ____!’ Because in times of trouble, that phrase can help you bounce back quicker. All this writing has made me hungry. I wouldn’t mind some sweet potatoes and butter.
Bu kitab haqqındakı düşüncələrimi ingilis dilində yazacaq qədər dil bilgisinə sahib deyiləm təəssüf ki. Kitabı oxumağa başladığım zaman ağlımda bir son var idi var idi əslində. Yəni sonunu bilə-bilə niyə belə (no spoiler) reaksiya verdiyimi özüm də anlamıram. "Hanım" adlı türk filmi var, orda da əsas obraz pişiyinə yeni yer axtarırdı, onu xatırladım ilk oxuyanda. Sonra motiv olaraq bənzəməsə də, ümumi struktur olaraq "소공녀" ("Microhabitat") filmini xatırlatdı. Çox doğma, insanın qəlbini isidən bir hekayə idi.
