Hello Andrew, I regularly watch and read your channel but I don't often comment on things. However, this really made me want to tell you: "Please stop feeling guilty!" You have the right to live the life you enjoy. Every choice has compromises and I can see that you consider things deeply and make good choices. Trust in your decisions. Much love from Australia.
Oh wow the leather trousers are being paraded!! They haven't seen the light of day for a while! I've read Shanna's post and I knew exactly what she meant! I told her we had moved to Spain in 2003 so lost touch with many friends in the UK. Made new ones, mainly from London! Lisa & Jeff who were Chica's mum & dad before we had her were quite close. She was a proper cockney from Canning Town! Very rough & ready but we got on! We came back in 2012 to Tamworth where we didn't really know anyone so lost contact with friends in Spain too! I told her, the only friends I have except for my sister who is the best there is, are all you lovely people I have met on Twitter & Youtube, Instagram etc.! I said, the best friends I have all live miles away as you do from Shanna and her US friends! So I could relate to that! I suppose I put too much hope on you becoming a close friend but realising that may never happen and I do now understand where you are coming from! You really value very close friends but they number only a few and you really value your sanctuary and your own space which to you is sacrosanct! I am different as I would be friends with everyone, it's just the way I am! So I apologise if I expected more, you did explain all this once in a few vlogs!! So forgive me for being too pushy in the past (It doesn't help that I find you very likeable!! or loveable!!) Take care of Dougal and yourself, he needs his Daddy!! xx
A really thoughtful and insightful read as always. I think that it's very easy to fall into the guilt trap. That way of thinking seems to come naturally to a creative and intelligent mind. Life is too short though and we have to make the most of it whilst making conscious decisions. My own guilt is mainly focused on lack of time for things but I'm trying to learn to make peace with that. I don't understand my own connection with the Outer Hebrides; I just know that the pull is way too strong to ignore. Perhaps your true 'HOME' chooses you, rather than the other way round!
