Change without the associated midlife crisis

I’ve always been resilient when it comes to change. I’ve mixed it up all of my life.  At the age of 16, I craved independence and left home, only to go back 4 weeks later with my tail firmly between my legs. I was 19 before I had another go, and this time I made […]
