Actually I had intended to say I know things are different here, but brain to finger communication failed.
I've chosen everywhere I've lived because of access to public transport; and that's not censure, it's just something that is possible here.
It's hard and it hurts when I'm so far away from home, but it IS cheaper and it IS accessible and that is the difference.

My Mum and my Godfather are having Masses said for me. Because I am depressed and alcoholic. I know they mean well, I know I mean a lot to them. But why should I mean more to God than orphaned African children born with AIDs, or people with no access to clean water, or 12 year old addicts in favelas who started out as drug runners and now shoot up to cancel out what they have seen?

It's all relative, and I don't for one second think your problem is unimportant. One of the remaining Strawberry Festival Queens has to keep her head above water.
