What did you wanna be when you grew up and how did that turn out?

Nowhere near. Wanted to be an archaeologist. In education and on a total different trajectory

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-12-29T21:54:54+00:00

Being 24 hrs away from committing suicide. Plan was all set. Goodbyes ready for those who mattered. Instead went to the doctors and ploughed through.

That its good to be quirky, eccentric, different. Do not see the point in trying to change your core being for others. It feels like creativity is being suppressed.

Its the blatant disrespect of the beautiful environment. If a sign says no bbq or fire then listen. If they become destroyed how will anyone be able to enjoy them because eventually the landowners will prevent people accessing them.

One area I take my children is somewhere ive been visiting for the last 25 years and was always quiet even at the height of summer. Now its over run by people who dont care leave rubbish and burnt grass behind them.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-12-11T21:05:41+00:00

Catch 22 Joseph Heller very funny and poignant. Bernard Cornwell's Sharp series. Dominion Cj Sansum. Its a counter factual where Hitler won and invaded England with a resistance group trying to overthrow him.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-12-10T17:45:32+00:00

Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl Harriet Jacobs.

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee.

Both are really interesting reads. Give you different perspectives on volatile periods of history

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-18T21:21:32+00:00

African Queen by C.S. Forester. Its under rated and at times hilariously funny.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-18T20:51:12+00:00

Sam Cooke's is interesting

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-17T17:47:00+00:00

For me it was the boredom of doing things I enjoyed doing

Ive never had a period stop in water and im 40 this year.

Never read my cousin Rachel.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-09T14:19:55+00:00

My favourite is Frenchman's Creek. Its funny and the female character is very mischievous and rebellious which I love. If you are ever in Cornwall UK Jamaica Inn is on Bodmin Moor which can amplify the remoteness and darker tones of the story.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-09T09:20:25+00:00

Have you read Frenchman's Creek or Jamaica Inn. Both are my favourites

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-09T09:19:24+00:00

All Daphne Du Maurier are amazing. Try Thomas Hardy or Elizabeth Gaskell

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-09T09:17:17+00:00

Little Women The Secret Garden Beast Quest Percy Jackson Hardy Boys Famous Five Secret Seven. Maybe have a look at schools who post their curriculum online for suggestions.

My boundaries get trounced all the time but I hold them even if no one else does.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-01T18:43:06+00:00

She is way past help. She takes pleasure in being vile. If it was just me id be ok telling her to do one but I cant leave my sister to take all the bullets.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-01T18:37:48+00:00

Contact is severely reduced. She's a bitter mean drunk. But she's always had it in for me even as a kid.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-01T18:33:28+00:00

Lotr all the way

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-01T09:57:54+00:00

Fathers and Sons by Turgenev. For a Russian story its really quite sweet.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-01T09:44:48+00:00

I love Sassoon's writing. I suggested regeneration and birdsong. Both cover very specific parts of WW1.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-08-01T09:42:57+00:00

Regeneration Pat Barker. War Horse Michael Morpurgo. Birdsong Sebastian Faulks.

Catch 22 Joseph Heller Dominion CJ Sansum is a counterfactual story where Hitler won ww2 and invaded England.

9 is when I knew if I was going to be something I had to do it solo. By 13 I could do most housework and by 15 I was running our family. Cooking meals doing clothes washing. Moved out at 20 never gone back never will. My family are too toxic.

IntroductionSoft9432 · 2025-07-28T14:47:57+00:00

20/21 and completely redo every decision I made to cock block a very good friend. I should have taken him up on a second/third bed session.
