Thank you. Immediately when I thought of another castle, I thought of an alternate time line… :)

I always think of this when reflecting on the parts of my life I did NOT enjoy.

Thank you for reading. I am not sure I'm reflecting on parts I didn't enjoy or just another path I could have taken.

You're welcome. And yes, very true.
