    I'm listening to you, crying my eyes out. It's extra hard being single, an ex that tries to turn my daughters against me by being a Disney dad. My son, whom I'm very close to, is off to college. Now I have nobody to lean on. My job makes it difficult to take off and leave my home without some serious planning i advance. I feel my life has no meaning what so ever.

    Uffff that can't be true can it? 99%? I feel like I am potentially setting myself up to get hurt by people if I try to push for something only 1% are doing. Really want to keep myself safe if you know what I mean. Over my 25+ years living abroad I've also taken work I didn't declare but I didn't destroy part of an eco-system doing it. Just feels like the illegal tours that go on at Astola / beaches of Kund Malir & Omara / waterfalls in Khuzdar / Lasbela, etc do a different kind of damage than just evade some taxes.

    Hi Vishaan, that is very kind that you've been around since the Bangers days. I still miss my friends there very much. Was actually just telling the story here about the hate in India vs. Pakistan -- might do a short Reel on it today actually now that you reminded me again. I didnt get as much "go home coloniser, we don't want you" in India but more "I hope your husband beats you or you get raped" !!! hahahah And that was often by women. When I offended someone in India it was always physical punishment they wanted there. There I also had funny emails from men wanting to ensure a good arranged marriage for my (then) 16 year old daughter too hahha Was a very different place.
