Yup. As a kid in boy scouts, the other kids were ok, but the
parents? judgemental as hell. So, I created my imaginary father.
I'd talk to him, he's talk back. He understood me. I vowed to
become him. At 17 wrote a letter to my future self as I cried
over lost childhood (I never lost it - I was wrong) - set to 42
'cause - Douglas Adams. Last years I opened the letter. I became
my own father.
