Phil, sounds like great personal progress. Your dad's advice resonates with me; perhaps because I am more in line with your dad's age than yours. We humans are great at fretting things we have little control over. And sometimes we go overboard on the less urgent interests and fail to take care of the basics. Here in the US I know we elected a clown as POTUS. But I can't spend every day protesting. I won't the the other self care stuff done; which includes things I do which cares for my community and neighbors. All of us lives somewhere. The geography around us is our community. To the degree we participate in making our employer successful should lead to our own success. And when it doesn't then clearly we have the wrong employer for us. But the idea applies to the rest. Neighborhoods form mostly because different talents come together and create a more comfortable place for all. At least those are to me the elements of wherever we live. We keep our house up because we like a kept up house. And we have the time to make that so. Not everyone else does. When we have spare time, do we use some of that to help someone else? When we think "life is hard", sometimes it is helpful to reflect on those "if not for this or that, life would be worse".2 points

Driving choice... Do we take the toll road which saves us time? Or the scenic way? Isn't that kind of the basic ongoing life choice we make, pretty much all the time? On one hand, easily answered by "what do I need right now?". But also answered by "what will do me the most good?". I'll toss in something becoming more common here in the US. How much does home delivery cost? While I can drive; pretty much unless I'm buying fresh foods, having it delivered makes some sense. Again though, it comes down to balancing time and money. But I've noticed there are a lot of pantry items I get that I have delivered, because often when I go to a local store they are out of stock. It makes more sense for me then to go to whomever has it vs the close place.... Dating... Most don't lead to "the lifelong relationship". But some can lead to enduring friendships. In fact, friendships in general for me seem to fall into proximity camps. Over time I find myself less in touch with those whose proximity is further. So as my adult life evolved, job changes, relocations, change of primary partnership... So also did my circle of friends. Sibling relationships have also changed as they moved off to the coasts while I remained in the midwest.1 point

"It’s just using sounds like “Na” and “La” ........ (apparently the "quote" doo-dad is taking the day off ......) Try replacing a voiced consonant with a percussive one, like Ta or Ka. It's easier to get your throat muscles to "remember" something exact, rather than something inexact. There's a reason some singers form the particularly bad habit of "scooping" to the correct pitch. That might be ok for B-grade Hollywood movies, but - - - Once the throat muscles get accustomed to "knowing" that position, see if the switcheroo to voiced consonants gets easier.1 point

Sounds like you've achieved a period of peace. Taking in the pleasure and experience of living today, without a side trip of worry or deep concern. That truly wouldn't describe every day for most of us; but something we can strive for. More importantly perhaps, that we recognize the many reasons for being grateful.1 point

It seems the essential question, will, for example Survivors of the holocaust, or Veterans of one of our many wars be remembered? And to that end, will they be remembered authentically or through a distorted lens?1 point

Sounds like a great evolution Phil. One less from your older friend (being a senior myself), practise not performing around others and like with her, just be your authentic self. Lovely how your thinking progressed from "I like this person, let me buy him flowers" to "who would benefit from flowers that last?". And when the tasks which bring us pleasure bring others pleasure too (and often that's the case) that is a big step towards social progress. We are, after all, connected.1 point

What an amazing story! Definitely liked how the reconnection brought things full circle and he gave you an introduction to something you'd enjoy. Thanks for sharing!1 point

unless it's interfering with your ability to hold a job and pay bills it's not an addiction. The sick and twisted Bible wavers came up with "sex addiction" in the 1980's to describe anyone who didn't conform to their one partner for life rule. You needed more than one sex partner you had a mental illness that prevented you from being sexually satisfied by one partner ()even though males are hardwired for multi-partner sperming). Sex addiction is such bullshit. I need to start attending Sex Addict meetings and get these guys back in the promiscuous sex pig head space males are meant to be in. I would use my loose ass, big bulge and history of thousands of partners to ensure we sexually engaged after every meeting like males are meant to. I am blessed to enjoy hundreds of sex partners a year and wish this blessing upon all my fellow cock bearers.1 point
