Caitlin MoranGUEST
This year feels like.
Caitlin MoranGUEST
it's been 10 years compared to last year and the rewiring of brains is like I've read so much about neuroplasticity when I was researching the book on How To Be Hopeful and I've had an example of this in my own life when I was 13 I wrote off they advertised the job of managing director of Comic Relief and I was like I applied for that job at the age of 13 I was like I could do that I love Comic Relief I didn't get the job, but I got a letter back from Lenny Henry, who'd have gone, oh, you're a Midlands girl, I see this girl, and he'd gone, you haven't got the job, it's too boring, but I know you will fly like a comet through British society.
Caitlin MoranGUEST
I look forward to meeting you at a showbiz party in the future.
Caitlin MoranGUEST
And I could literally feel that rewire my brain.
Caitlin MoranGUEST
I could literally feel...
Caitlin MoranGUEST
