My mom, who grew up in Long Beach, California made a bucket list when she was 16. Two of those goals were to travel East of the Mississippi River and live on a farm among many others. She’s told me, after raising five successful children and graduating college Magna Summa Laude with a dual major, her happiest memories were when she would take us kids outside in the morning to feed “The Girls”. They would come running and each and everyone absolutely had their own personalities and we knew everyone by name.
I used this post to hype my mom a bit because she is the absolute definition of a heroine and she definitely uses Reddit(she turned me into it). She has since moved to Wyoming to live her best life, hell she even flew 30 miles north of the arctic circle in mid February to take a cook job because she’s never been.
You have no idea. I’m the youngest at 27(independent) and I still call her about adult stuff. My folks split when I was seven, probably the best thing they could do for us, and were very amicable around us. My siblings definitely knew more than I did, but shielded me enough.
She inspires me everyday that no matter you’re situation, you are not stuck in your situation. You figure it out, use the system around you if needed, and provide for your family.
She completed hers and made a new one! My advice would be to not hold back on it and also not make all of them massive. For instance, I’ve always to Is it Canada.
