The Colony

Of course! In fact, I feel sorry for those who haven’t. It’s tough medicine, but it moves us forwards. Discontent has its uses.

Many many many many many times. And the last time won't have been the last time. But tomorrow is a new day. Cuddle a cat!

It isn't really about me. It is about my kids. Discovered they haven't been eating because they have no money, and I have no money to send them. They can't even get home because, even if they wanted to admit defeat and come back, they don't have the train fare from Brittany. I feel shitty that I have mismanaged my life so that I am not in a position to help them. That's it.

I went off to college when I was 17 and didn't have a bean... and my parents didn't either. I lived on noodles or cheap bread with curry powder sprinkled on top, and while having No Money was horrible, it made me more self-reliant, stronger and resilient. It will be okay. As a fellow parent, all the love to you. It can be bloody hard
