I understand. I'm not expecting you to forget your past everyone has gone through it. You are not alone. I was a poor kid too, same situation as you. I had no shoes, old clothes, I nearly died of malaria at age 3. I witnessed the death of my grandmother at age 7 when she stepped on a mine. Yes it is hard for all of us. Before I go any further, out of curiosity, at what age did you move to Australia? Because I'd like to know. and this could possibly make a difference in our view of life. I didn't come to America until age 8.
My parents have always taught me to never dwell in the past, but, also not to forget it. They tell me to keep moving forward and enjoy life as it comes. It's okay to work hard but don't lose your life over it that's what they say. There is nothing wrong for being a real estate agent handling million dollar deals. My comment toward you regarding the gay guy and the million dollar with him, and then calling your wife to let her know...was just a joke. If the role had been reversed, and if you have said what I have have said, I would have laughed away because in my mind I know it was just a tease and you didn't mean it. Apparently, you didn't get it or find it funny. If you didn't understand what I have meant then message me or post it here, so I can explain it to you before jumping to conclusions.
I'm not upset or angry at you, I'm just trying to clear up the misunderstanding. Your way of life is great for doing what you are doing. However, When you come home from work do you think about it(work I mean)? I don't. When you go out with friends or family do you talk about it? I don't. Do you see what I am saying? For me personally, when I get off work...I am stress free until I get back. When I am off the clock, I focus my time and energy on myself, family, friends, etc.. Everything else is last.
