>live in a house not riven by alcoholism and erratic behavior
>home located within convenient distance of public transport instead of in the middle of nowhere
>opportunity to spend more time with kids my age outside of school
>opportunity to make more of the normal rites of passage
that's minimum
To stick to the boards theme: If I had been a sporty guy, talented with the guitar, I would have gotten a lot female validation (and sex).
But I'm not even sure if the person that would have resulted from such a person I'd want to switch with now.
I'm not sure. I mean a I had childhood so awful it's left pretty much every therapist I've shared it with speechless, but I really really love the man I am today and perhaps changing that would take some of who I am away.
I just wish my parents were rich and I didnt have to go to school.
I also wish I was less cowardly and sensible. Things would have been easier and I'd probably been happier.
I always wanted to grow up in a nice area of Miami, Florida in the early 2000s with nice, sporty, encouraging college-educated parents like my two cousins did. Instead I grew up in the shitty midwest with a deadbeat dad, a mom working minimum wage, and too many siblings.
