Baggage

It is really sad to see people so weighed down by the 'baggage' of their past that they no longer really exist as an individual.

In a way I am incredibly lucky not to be carting around a trailer of exs and twisted kids and half dead relatives so that anyone who thinks of inviting me for coffee has to consider my menagerie.

I was amazed by this chap who, ex-wife, handicapped child, thought he could make another stab at living, but ex-wife and handicapped child put paid to that.

No woman is going to deal with him; not with one phone in case his old mother calls, another for his handicapped child, and those that try find themselves alone when he 'has' to go to who summons him.
