In December 07 I moved in with my "girl friend" of 2 years, we are both of a mature age and after about 6 weeks or so of getting use to being in  each others face all the time and each  getting use to our respective kids, (my 17 year old son) came with me when i moved, well I've been on my own for such a long time before this that I am now finding it hard to ajust to the fact that I have other people to concider when doing something, I don't want to just go off and not include them in what ever it is that I'm doing, but I do miss the fact that befroe I could just come and go as i pleased without having to worry about anyone else and if it fitted in with hat they wanted to do.
This makes me feel a little trapped, sort of like a tiger at teh zoo, pacing up and down in front of the bars, I know it's my own doing but the feeling is there none the less.
I had this grand plan of traveling around my home country of Australia and just working when I need to but now i can't see that happening anytime soon as now I have another "family" to look after and I'm not getting any younger and I've alway said that I wanted to do it before I was too and and dottery to know where or why i was.
I have a hobby of flying kites and I feel a bit like a kite, able to taste a bit of "freedom" but still restricted from going to far by the kite strings, i don't know if I want the strings cut, as I don't know if I would fly free with the wind or just crash to the ground. Oh well I guess that we all have our lot in life
