  • Multigenerational living, on a farm. Most everything we eat or use comes from our property, our neighbors, or my husbands family’s property.

    I’m very well cognizant this is not an option for a lot of people, and I know how lucky I am to not have to spend money on bills most people have… it’s a big reason why I try to pay it forward in many ways, as often as I can.

    That said, I grew up in abject poverty… so I’m playing catch up, even now.

    Such is reality.







  • Potential hot take-- am in my 30s so I dont know if I qualify in your younger generation denotation or not.

    I was raised with the thought process of ‘act as if you are always on camera’ to get me to act right. As I aged, it was amended to ‘act as if you are always on camera… because you are.’

    Both statements were and remain to be correct. That said, I think there is something to be said about the expectation (or lack thereof) of privacy that the younger generations were raised either in or to know.

    I don’t think that privacy has lost value through its own or the younger generation’s volitions. I think it lost value through… everybody always being watched in one way or another.
