I feel much better about my life when I avoid social media.

For me it’s the sacrifice I give as a mom a wife a daughter a sister etc. the sacrifice is never seen it feels like

I think the scariest one for me is that there very well could be a great, upstanding man who pursues me in earnest and genuinely wants everything I want, but I’ll be so afraid waiting for the other shoe to drop that I’ll ruin it somehow. But I’m working at conquering that fear, and not being the conquered.

Frog legs? I mean. Frog are better eating up mosquitos than being chased for food. But we do eat snails and they are very good.

American who works abroad- it always baffles me how some American tourists seem to think that nobody else in the world speaks English.

The one that comes to mind was at a train stop where some tourists who were clearly American were talking about how smelly everyone in the country was. Tourist A mentioned that Tourist B should keep her voice down, and Tourist B replied, "Why? None of them know what I'm saying." A guy standing behind them piped up with something like "Pretty much all of us speak English." The tourists faces dropped and they were silent until the train came.

It was excellent.

E: This was in Argentina, for those asking.

Small town living.

Oh, I'll catch hell for it, I'm sure, but I've never been impressed with small towns. Some people really do enjoy living in small communities, but I grew up in one and lived in another for 10 years, and it was awful.

There's a lot of judgment in small towns, especially for people with "those families" - you know, the ones from the wrong side of the tracks. There's also a lot of judgment if you're not a straight, white, Christian. You're going to face a lot of discrimination and gossip.

You'll either be in the small town where everyone knows everyone's business, or the small town where you are frozen out for 10 years because you weren't born there and your family isn't from there. I've lived in both.

Living "off the grid"

My guess is most people do well for the first few months, then cant handle losing modern conveniences long term.
