Ha! No worries, thank you for the response! I know, those puzzles... sometimes they ask me over and over to pick out... crossroads, trucks, traffic lights. It's so frustrating!

And, ugh - I'm so sorry that your brothers bully you now. I feel like it's immature and short-sighted on their part, you seem like such a lovely person, they don't realize what they're missing out on. (And sorry about the loss of your sister. )

The village sounds like such a neat place. It's a little hard for me to imagine, as I struggle a lot with attachment and community. But, maybe if I were born into a community like that, it would be my "normal" and not such a struggle. I saw your other post, about not wanting to live alone, and I'm sort of the opposite - I find it very hard to share space with people.

Take care!
