Did you see the moon?

That’s something I realised a long time ago David, you can’t help people who don’t want to help themselves, right! With my bfs addiction, he would say he wanted to stop, then a few hours later he’d say he needed to be accepted for who he is. Rightly or wrongly. I suppose I did accept him to a degree, but there’s that element of chaos that never sat right with me.

If 5,10,15 even 20 years ago you’d have asked me where I’d be in x number of years time, I’d never predicted where I actually was at those points. I suppose if we each do what’s best at any given point in our lives, it doesn’t matter where we end up, the journey was as it should’ve been. In my view anyway. I’d like to tell you not to worry about the future, but I find it very hard not to myself, so I suppose why not worry, but I’d suggest only within reason ????????

If you don’t mind me asking, and just ignore me if you do, but how was it you were furloughed if you drive for a living? I would’ve thought drivers are in high demand.
