What were you doing in 1993?

I turned 5 that year, started preschool. No major responsibilities, things were so much more simple for me 😅.

I was working in a record store while going to college.

I loved working at the record store. I did it for four years, which was like getting an unofficial bachelor’s in music. I walked in as a metal head and walked out with a deep appreciation for blues, jazz, zydeco, early country, and early R&B among others. With things like Spotify, it’s easy for anyone to expand their horizons today, but back then, before the internet took off, it was an experience that couldn’t have easily been duplicated in any other environment.

@Stereoguy it was good for me at the time, got me free from financial reliance on an abusive step-parent and his enabling wife. And it took me nearly twenty years but I finished my degree.

Wow. Working, building my house, getting married, figuring out how the "instant family" thing works. It's exhausting just thinking about it.

@SubstantialKick for me it was difficult mostly when I was a little child

SW-User

@SubstantialKick you don't have those feelings anymore? How did you overcome them?

SubstantialKick · 31-35, M

@SW-User I started hanging out with some good people who helped me break out of my shell.
