Here goes nothing

Edit: I didn't like it :(

I don't know if I ate wrong or what but this just tastes super weird. No idea why it's so popular

Edit 2: I just remembered I loved peanuts dipped in honey as a kid. That's kinda similar. I wonder why I didn't like this then.

I've been living in South Korea for 4 years, but in the city.

Therefore we decided to spent time in very rural areas which to be honest are kind of dying here in Korea. Many shops and tourist attractions are closed.

But it's amazing to be so close to nature.

Grew up in the hood AMA (lemmings.world)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by treyyy@lemmings.world to c/askmeanything@lemmy.ca
 
 

Just switched from Reddit FYI

Until I went off to college in the city, I lived in a pretty dangerous hood in Baltimore with my single mom who had multiple jobs as a waitress, and a stripper at night (also provided escort services to some of her customers, and I slept in the bathtub when she did :/ ). When I was around 15, I cleaned windows & did yard work for a lot of my mom’s customers/clients to help with expenses. I could tell my mom hated her jobs, but she did what she had to, to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. We stayed in a tiny one bedroom apartment, and my mom would come home at 3-4 am every night. Dad went to prison when I was young for assault, and I grew up around a lot of violence/drugs in general. Now I make okay money and I’ve brought my mom to the safer side of the city, but honestly I wouldn’t be where I am now without her hard work.

Edit: I'm going to bed, so I think that's the end of the AMA. He's gonna stay up a bit longer to take the dogs out. Thanks for all the questions everyone!

After being miserable and ungrateful for things almost my whole life, I finally feel like my life is consistently great. I really think I realize now how amazing my life has always been, but how focused i was on the shit that didnt matter - the stuff that was temporary. I spent my time worrying about all of it instead of focusing on what I had. I've experienced so much in such little time and have so much more yet to, and I've never been more grateful, excited, at times fearful but eager for it all. I love my life.
