RE: Jules, Freddie, and the Monkey Man

Sadly, no as far as keeping touch with this friend. As was typical, we grew apart and our temperaments were always so different, we took very different paths. I’m not sure if I’d want to write it out. I’m also not sure if women are any better at analysing and seeing past mistakes. And while I’d like to think I can adjust my hindsight as I get older, I feel I make more mistakes and have more regrets. I think there’s truth in that we get more set on our ways as we age. I suppose it’s understanding who you are and finding your true boundaries. It doesn’t mean there isn’t regrets when you have to let people go. I’m not quite sure what I’m writing about right now, but your words are interesting. Also had a peek at your profile, so please tell your SOIC she is gorgeous! ;)

Something that came slowly to me was realizing that I am who I am, and there is little to be gained by changing me to suit someone else. It took many decades to become who I am, and I'm satisfiedwith the functioning results. That removes the undercurrent of worry that can undermine a solid foundation for feeling stable.

The SOIC is insufferably pleased by your compliment. We both thank you!
