Staying away from home has made me realize how ungrateful I was for every little thing. The comfort, the air, my family, everything.

When I wouldn't eat something, my mum would make me food I love.

When I am feeling sick, I'd have my family around me.

When I got tired, I could just take a small nap whenever I want, wherever I want.

All these little things, I've taken for granted..

I realize how special and precious all those things were.

Do you ever suddenly remember something you wholeheartedly believed as a child that just makes your skin shrivel up like a prune

When I was 4, I (a white kid) asked an adult why my best friend (who was Korean) had different eyes from me, and they straight up told me that it was because she was from Asia, and because Asia was very hot, it was also very dusty, so people who were from Asia developed smaller eyes so they wouldn’t get so much sand in them.

And because I believed this wise and worldly adult, I went the next nine or so years fully believing that different ethnic traits were entirely determined by the geography you grew up in.

Which means that until I was about thirteen, I fully believed that my skin was white because I was Canadian, and whenever it snowed, I’d need to blend in to hide from predators

Other things I believed:

1. All humans were supposed to be brown, anyone who was white came from somewhere cold, because otherwise we’d stand out in the snow

2. Only white people got pimples and body hair because we were the only ones in razor and face wash commercials

3. Air was made of the same stuff as water because both were clear, tasteless, and vital for life

4. If you ate nothing but meat all the time, your teeth would become sharp and pointy like a shark

5. God could hear all my thoughts unless I focused really hard on going ‘LALALALALALALA’ in my head

6. If I made eye contact with a mirror, something living inside the mirror would look back and would see me, too

7. People born in other places had different accents because like how everyone has a different face, everyone also had a different mouth, so of you were from Scotland, your Scottish accent was just, like. The shape of your teeth or something

8. All liquids were just something + water. Like, bleach was made out of something toxic mixed with water.

9. Every chicken coop needed a rooster. No idea what purpose the rooster served, it just had to be there.

10. If I ate enough bone marrow I’d turn into a dog (I liked chewing open chicken bones for some reason, Idk)

11. In order to wear fake nails, women would have to pull their real nails out first

12. Everyone on the planet was attracted to men and women in exact equal amounts- they were just only allowed to date or marry someone of a different gender because idk adults made up dumb rules all the time, like keeping your elbows off the table and not wearing hats in restaurants.

13. Goldfish were psychic and could read your mind

14. The memorial stone behind my elementary school was actually a grave and there was a dead woman buried under it who made the pipes rattle in the girl’s washroom

15. If the monsters in the dark parts of the house made eye contact with me they’d own part of my soul

16. Cats could talk, they just didn’t want to.

17. Boys were naturally faster, bigger, and stronger than girls, but it was because they were also dumber and needed the advantage to survive

I laughed so hard reading these

Hey OP I would like to ask a clarification question about number 13

Did I just give too much attention in number 17?
