It sucked at the time, but looking back now, it's our history that makes us who we are today. It's all good, and if it hadn't happened the way it did, who knows what butterfly effect would have occurred as a result.
What I really ought to do first is renew my passport(s). Maybe that'll lite a fire under my butt. 😀
That's an excellent way to look at it, and is exactly how I see my own past. I've had some stuff happen and without it I'd not be me right now.
Get that passport mate...I keep my up to date at all times!
