Do you think you've had a hard life or an easy life?

@0uijaFinger Yes I agree. Just being born into a country can put you ahead of 90% of humanity.

@JimboSaturn I was gonna point that out too. I didn’t have the best childhood but I know for a fact that I was still privileged than a lot of people. I mean, my adopted parents did a lot of neglectful things to me but then every year we got to go on vacation and we went to Disney World (the one in California) like six times and the one in Florida only once. All before I was even in high school.

But getting to go on vacation doesn’t mean that the stuff that they did to me gets to be erased. And that’s one thing a lot of therapist don’t understand. when I tell them about my childhood about going on trips it makes me seem like I’m a spoiled brat, and they put me in a category of having a less traumatic childhood. I mean, I won’t lie. I didn’t have to suffer like most people have to day to day growing up, It wasn’t all bad every day but there were times where the things that they did to me like sometimes makikg me sleep out in the rain in the dog house when I was 10 that stuff you just don’t do to ANYBODY.

@TurtlePink There's a whole thing on what we call 'middle class neglect.' The treats happen but the nurture doesnt

@TurtlePink But then the question arisises, What is a good life? A very poor family could have a very loving family, a strong community where people feel wanted and a feeling of belonging, gratitude when they get something they want, and meaningful role in life. This question is a lot deeper than it appears on the surface.

@JimboSaturn Yes, exactly. What I mean is, if it felt easy or hard to you

@Jexie No it didn't feel easy, but it wasn't horribly hard either. I think I got a good balance of adversity and priviledge.
