This is great, Sam, really good stuff. I feel it must be pretty cathartic to get all this out and to go back in time to analyse the things that make you you.

In some ways I find it pretty relatable in that I spent a lot of my childhood alone (only child) and my parents were super busy with their cafe. I'd spend my entire school holidays hanging out in the cafe being so bored, my parents would never take me friends house, have sleepovers, birthday parties were essentially family only; they didn't have the time to take me or even build that relationship with other parents.

Like you, I can't blame my parents for this, my dad being an off the boat Greek wanted to work hard to set me up in life, everything he didn't have. I owe him heaps but I sometimes wish that he had the time to kick the ball around with me rather than being at work or exhausted. I think it's probably worth me unpacking some of this...
