childhood was good and also shitty sometimes. my stepmom was super strict and usually a bitch but not always. i had thousand of acres of state forest to play in which was good but i was terribly sheltered other than that.not allowed but i did. no smoking, no rock music, very few friends get to stay here, no girlfriends, no no no .... got into trouble as a teen but nothing too bad. i enjoy being an adult more than a kid too, though sometimes it gets to be a drag. i guess that is just the way it is.
