There is no "Respectfully" about it, you are bang on the money. I know this and for someone who is pretty much 12,000 miles away, to realise the same, well, that's quite something. Ever since I was very young, I've known I'm "Different", I've never wanted to get married or have children, however, I have a son who's in his late 20's who currently lives with me (AGAIN)😂, he's recently split up with this GF, anyway, I digress. I never really wanted children but I love my son and will always be here for him. As for me, I'm a bit of a maverick, never really fitted in, I'm an undiagnosed Autist, which is almost certainly true. I enjoy my life, alone. It's a mad world, and I like it, alone. It's taken me over 30 years to realise what and who I am, yes, of course, the drinking doesn't help, but again, it's just what I do and I'll "suffer" the consequences, if it's only affecting me and nobody else, then, so be it. I'm very very privileged. I have a loving son, who I also love dearly, a loving mother and sisters who I love dearly, I also have a father who I love, and I know he loves me, he lives abroad, I go and see him occasionally but we tend to have HUGE arguments. He divorced my mum a looooong time ago. Anyhow, yes. Me, privileged, will be in Bali at the start of The New Year, travelling all round The Far East doing a little tour, alone🙏🏻. I'm blessed to be to do what I am able to, alone. It's odd but it's me. Ava, you was super astute and concise in your note above, it was humbling to read.

Jesus. Quite a rant here, thanks for reading🫂.
