Am glad it's all working out Sheamus. It takes time and a lot of patience. I did get your response to another comment, saying how you realise that learning is advancing and how you would've repeated the same reality. That's exactly it. That IS what happens. You're learning young and know this, which is great. Many older people still don't understand the connection between this. I can act on impulse at times, and it's not that I haven't learned from the past, but that I don't realise how much I have. Advancing and learning = growth!
Btw, you did reply to a comment saying the above, and I replied on the app, but something went wrong! I made some typos in the comment and copied it hoping it would update the previous one but for some reason it all got jumbled up and I think your comment was deleted somehow. Anyway, this was more or less the reply I gave. You're doing very well. Your stories show advancement, how you've navigated difficult situations and trusted yourself to make decisions. It's not easy growing up in a country that you must know the language to advance, so kudos to you!
