      52 here. I think I get more annoyed with certain phrases the older I get. Like I said, not enough to be actually aggravated, but certain phrases raise my hackles every time, and ‘whenever’ is a big one.

      It may be because there’s someone on a podcast I regularly listen to who does this, or it may be because I’m a writer and am more keyed in to errors like this, or it may be both.

      I may also be inebriated.

              Congratulations on your new family. It sounds like you’re happy now despite all you’ve been through, and that’s really what it’s all about.

              I’d love to read your songs and poems, if you’d DM them to me. I’ve recently got back into music and lyrics myself, and I wrote a sci-fi novel (Blue Are the Hills on Amazon, Lilly Piper).

              I get it; my son is 25 now and was 18 when I got back into writing. Teenagers are exhausting.

              eta: I absolutely suck at writing covers and marketing blurbs, so please have mercy.
