Ashamed of Being "Country"

I had parents who were big city people with big city mentality and big city experiences, raising me in a country environment around country people and country schools. And I had a small city country sort of experience. It wasn't like a little Maybury town where if you blink, you miss it. And population of like everyone knows everyone is a little bit bigger than that

I'm a big fan of aging in the sense of like, every year you get older, you get smarter. And I really think it's true. There's a lot of wise people out there that don't have platforms to speak, and I hope to join us here on Swell. Anyway, I love this conversation. Thank you for having me. I hope other people join. Bye

#presentmindedness #shame #livinginthenow

And now that I have learned to just be comfortable with my truth and moved back to where I grew up, it feels like I've become reintegrated as a person, and my brain is working diligently to try to fill in 20 years worth hours of present minded observations. It's a very bizarre experience, and it is very bizarre feeling
