I have spent so much of my adult life overseas in a strange country where I don't speak the lingo terribly well and I must admit that at times I have seriously questioned myself over it all. All this time away from long time friends, family or any sense of normality.
Sometimes people I have known have looked upon this kind of life as being in some way exciting or different and it really isn't. I just earn my money so that I can survive a few rainy days and spend a little more time in splendid isolation and I do spend a lot of it awkwardly alone. In some ways it is like being Robinson Crusoe with a job. You live on your island and can spend some time articulating divine grammatical forms, but outside of that you are back on your island.
Do I have any real regrets? No, I don't. I am who I am and this place has partly shaped me in terms of arguing things. A distinction is an exercise is manipulation whilst an argument on here is a real shape of character.
I have no regrets and being older and able to post in the style that I have is kinda fun. Do I regret anything in my personal life? No, I'm still here and have posted all the terrible stuff.
Do you have any regrets?
