Before bed, I often find myself imagining in detail how things might have turned out if I had made a different choice about something important from my past.

I leave for work earlier than I need to so that I can go to the harbour beforehand for a calming coffee and smoke with the view of the early morning mist rolling across the sea, and the early morning fishing charters leaving for the day.

I’m a dude in my 40s. My guilty pleasure is female pop music. When I’m with friends, I listen to hardcore rap and hip hop. But when I’m chilling on my own, I secretly listen to top 40 pop music like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa.
