I had a shitty childhood, but at least I'd know what to expect.

I had a shitty childhood. I'd rather be born to some nice swedish couple. There was no good way out of the evangelical hellhole I started out in.

And shit, I got relatively lucky. I Could've been a child soldier or making iPhones at 6y old or some shit.

Right? Why take chances?

I guess I lucked out, my childhood was pretty ideal. My parents were pretty well off, we had a nice house away from the suburbs in a more wooded area, with a creek on both sides and fields with wild horses and lots of huge oak trees to climb.

It was such a beautiful area that I could explore and play in it all day long - it was just great. I don't think kids get that much of a rural experience anymore, the place has since been overdeveloped and it doesn't have any fields or open spaces anymore.
