Many thanks to Alan, all the professionals and fans who generously share their words, stories, photographs and videos online.
My favourite Alan Doyle tweet from his official Twitter account this year is…
In response to a fan’s question today…
How do you not let negative things get to you? I can’t seem to let go of my ex and how bad he made me feel? Any advice?
Alan’s response…
Hmm…I have been very lucky and been treated well so I don’t know for sure. But I have lots of negative thoughts just like anyone, I suppose. The best day has something bad init. The worst day has something good. I also think happiness is not something we should wait on…I don’t think it comes to anyone, rather it comes from us. We make it, ourselves? Not sure honestly, but that’s what I think lately. Hope this helps. Cheers.
