I hadn't realized you were an only child, too. Always nice to talk to another person who's gone through some of the same! It really is a very different way of growing up and going through life. As a child I didn't know many other people who were only children at all.
Glad that you don't have any regrets about living your own life and seeing the world! Whether or not I can has been one of the biiggest conflicts of my adult life so far.
Thanks so much for reading and for the kind words, Claire!!
