It's a bit like this for me, but I've made peace with it. I value seeing my friends more than I value a game where no one wins.

Almost all my life, as far as I can remember. I'm 42.

There are a number of factors for me. I need dark, quiet, comfort etc . . . but outside those external factors, stress is the main issue. My mind won't quiet down.

I have to be patient, take my time, and try not worry if it won't come.

Orrr you could attempt to be a grownup and actually communicate about the issue? Too difficult?

What a beautiful picture. As a wee boy I was fascinated by the moon. I still am at 42. 🌙

Happy to be here instead of there. I'm enjoying your lovely pictures. 😊
