#do you really think my life is lesser bc i didn't have steak n shake

[darkwood-sleddog]

sometimes it think back to college when i moved out of vt and to ohio and my ohioan friends would be flabbergast i didn't know what this or that fast food restaurant was or that my parents didn't let me have caffeinated soda growing up like i was 'missing out' or 'sheltered' or something but like. babes. you never learned how to make a powerpoint presentation or go outside for fun and you're coming for ME?

#not dogs #the powerpoint presentation thing is TRUE i had a college friend #who had never learned how to make one in school ever #and i was like excuse me WHAT. #like sorry my parents didn't want me having a highly addictive sugared drink as a kid i don't know why that's considered bad #vt had a single mcdonalds my entire life #like. #do you really think my life is lesser bc i didn't have steak n shake #sorry my mom made me eat hummus and cucumber wraps instead of giving me money for fast food. it was just a reality of growing up #with parents conscious of healthy eating habits and thats not a bad thing either #literally loved living in CBUS but like. i'd go for walks and nobody was outside even when the weather was beautiful it was SHOCKING #like it was endlessly amusing to my ohio folks i got excited by the first snowfall each year #like even if you don't like winter please go outside and experience a little JOY for once im begging yall
