. The Port has had a lot of money spent on it... so has the art gallery which is really worth seeing ... and then of course the extended lakes area. It truly is a rather beautiful town.
Pat, with your wit and sarcasm... it seems I have missed this side of you. And it's a rather endearing side. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Accept that the person has travelled with you part of the way, that they are part of your experience and move forward from there. It's never wasted... it's just life.
Psssst I also don't see your response as being hippy like... it's quite empathetic.
I truly believe it takes all types to make the world go around... there is a reason we have music in our lives … just as entertainment plays a part. While your lifestyle is interesting and clearly it works for you... others need more interaction with people and laughter.
And the truth is... we all have our own journey to make in life … our own lessons. Our perceptions are often based on what we personally experience and there is no way that two people are not going to experience something unique to them.
So whatever it takes for someone to achieve happiness in life, it's not our role to judge them. It sounds like you had experiences in Vietnam that would be difficult for you to discuss … and that's okay too. I understand friends that you have would share those experiences and be the right people for you to talk to.
I wish you luck in your journey to find what makes you happy.
