lol i am almost ashamed to say.. moved from Belgium to the UK after i divorced. Ended up working for the UK government in a benefits call in centre taking claims.
Had a rotten partner in the UK, suffered a job loss and breakdown as a result. Ended up being viciously stalked for a year, got PTSD, deeper breakdown. Physical and mental health went out the window for a while. Like a few years LOL
Much later, i am recovering. But its much better now. Life took a strange turn but in the end, I am in a better place because of it. Sometimes you need to burn the house down and rebuild instead of trying to fix a lost cause lol
So I am now permanently off work due to health, but am collecting and selling Japanese kimonos as my hobby. And foraging for fungi in the New Forest with my dogs when health permits. Potter in my allotment plots.... and try to regain my art bit by bit.. rediscovering my passion for ceramics after a hiatus of almost 30 years ffs.. I still have "it" but need to hone my drafting skills lol I still draw like a hack.
Spend a lot of time playing with my dogs tbh
