You've got talent that I'd love to have (at my age ... although only a 'year' difference) - and I'm sure that deep down your family is jealous too.
You are a sweet guy -- and you're not invisible here and not to me ... its great having you here.
People aren't always nice, and yeah you're going to come across some (sometimes a LOT, including family - I have the same problem) that aren't going to accept you for who you are and who are going to try to change you. Do NOT let them. Must be true to yourself first and forget everyone else.
Boosting yourself up and your self-image all by yourself -- yeah that is a pain to do alone. Here's a compliment from me (no lie) - You are wonderful, a great person a great friend with a good heart and a your head is in the right spot and I know you can do anything you put your mind to -- because that is the type of person you ARE.
(((Simon)))) Take care ... PM me anytime ... I care and you're not invisible to me.
