I _was_ defiantly ashamed of living with my parents. There are positives to me sticking around, e.g. family member with heart condition in the home, us taking in a immediate relation's child in my parents life when they need help to watch over them. And many more. It's good to have more heads around in the house. Still, I'm self aware of my situation. I _was_ still a bit insecure because of it, until recently. Let me tell ya a little story: A vendor set up in my workplace to sell some specialty food. She was a posh type of person from NY. I've met these type of people before [not NYers specifically, I mean upper-class people], and they seem so alien to me as a person who grew up in a relatively rough and tumble blue collar area, and has had experiences with underprivileged people from very bad areas. She was very schizophrenia in her conversations. The simplest small talk opening statement would induce an LSD-like rant from her. I have dated two schizophrenics, both on the opposite ends of the spectrum of mild to severe mental suffering. This vendor may not have been literally schizophrenic, but talking to her was like talking to someone with that condition. One day, a simple innocuous question somehow led into one of her ramblings. It went from one of her NY friends working on their cellar that day with no help, her claiming they'd hurt themselves with no one to watch them, then her mentioning that she dates 30 year old guys who still live with their parents. I chimed in, trying to keep the conversation in a stable place, with a factually true statement that "The way things are now it's hard to find a decent paying job in this area, sometimes it's best for people to stick together and help each other instead". She continued on, and ended with "I think men who still live with their parents aren't real men at all." ..... I wasn't offended at all. I was just blown away by the innocent ignorance of it. I just let the conversation end and went about my work. I didn't know where to go from there. One: These are the type of men you JUST said you steadily date. Two: There are a wide spectrum of people, in all kinds of conditions. I've grew up with and seen alpha male ass kickers who stayed with their parents into their 30s. And I've seen squares that moved out into good houses with a wife and kids. I'm not excusing my situation, I was just blown away about how confidently ignorant she was, about people in general. It was like she was locked in a cellar for most of her life with a DvD of the Friends TV show to keep her company and help her develop. She was trying to be witty and funny, and just came off as batshit crazy to everyone from this area who interacted with her.

Fun trivia: Saffron Walden is a very historic but relatively insignificant locality with around 15,000 people in the parish. Besides the very degraded ruins of a castle, it is home to the Fry Art Gallery which had been in the Fry family since the 19th century. The gallery is named after Roger Fry, an artist, who died in 1970. The Fry’s were Quakers and were part of a strong Quaker community that centered on the town. Steven would have been very aware of Saffron Walden, even before he went to Cambridge University, but I am sure that while at uni the duo must have visited Saffron Walden and appreciated its history, including a very remarkable ancient maze, and castle ruins, which invoke thoughts of mythical beings and legendary stories.

I am 36 years old and i still have not found Punak, the Destroyer, the Dark One, the Beast. I am still waiting for Ferlow Wroth to call on me, since i know that i cannot find Teesshs all by myself. But to this very day, even if so many years have passed, i am still afraid that the minions of Threek will discover me..

Actually not a bad idea to give yourself a more interesting backstory - I’m going to work harder, get out of the house more, get in shape and meet new people, but it’s all just so I can be accepted by the community as part of a plan to rid the world of Punac.

Unfortunately I have been living in Brittany France for the last ten years, and Punac is actually my next village... just over the hill from Carnac. There is also a beast there, and let me tell you, despite what he says... he actually knows nothing about cars!

Uhm, the lord of the rings doesnt have that ”the chosen one” nonsense so common in trash fantasy. Some random hobbits are heroes because they choose to do it. Not due to fate, birthright, or extraordinary talent.

@@martinlarsson8947 yeah there wasnt totally a destiny/chosen one angle in aragorn's story or as tolkien put it "All that is gold does not glitter,Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither,Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes, a fire shall be woken,A light from the shadows shall spring;Renewed shall be blade that was broken,The crownless again shall be king"

Leo Shane That’s fine. This was written in the 80’s, well before the millennials and the necessity of living with your parents beyond your 20’s due to rising rents and house prices. What you were supposed to do in Britain back then was work your way through college living in a grubby shared flat while paying the rent on said crappy flat by being a barman in the evenings and thus end up becoming an alcoholic. Thank God that I never... *hic* ...went that way 😜

Ok I just googled Saffron Walden.... it’s a beautiful town, absolutely gorgeous .... I want to visit like right now! (I’m American by the way) I’m beginning to learn that Great Britain has a secret that we Americans don’t know. It’s one of the most lovely and beautiful places on earth.... I just discovered Coventry recently and was blown away. All we in the states know about is London... which is very nice, I’m sure, but wow the rest of the country is too magnificent for words to follow! Planning my next vacation’ By the way.... there’s a Fry art gallery there!!!
