Stumbled across this video and so many of the stories were interesting.
-Confusion while getting too high. I have felt like I was literally in an entirely different universe. Like seriously, I had no idea my brain could function in that manner.
-How fun drinking is and conversely, how hard it is to function while drunk. I thought you could "pull it together" if you focused hard enough.
-how difficult a 4 minute mile is. I saw a commercial about this when I was 19 and thought for sure I could do it. And I'm not even a runner. Like 5 minutes later I'm half a mile down the road, hunched over, ready to call my mom to pick me up.
-ear infection. This one's kinda different bc I had one when I was 6 and I remember crying hysterically. When I got older, I remembered how I acted and thought I was just being dramatic as a child.... Until I got one at 17. Man it was HORRIBLE. Legit thought my eardrum was gonna explode.
-heartache. And I've never even *truly* been heart broken Just some mild stuff like someone I like a lot cutting it off.
-mental issues. I've suffered from slight ptsd (undiagnosed by a professional but I'm certain that's what it was) and it is completely debilitating. It is just a severe as a physical barrier.
-the importance of a pet. I remember when I was 16, I saw a poster for a lost dog and it said "he is a very important member of our family", and I remember thinking 'it's just a dog', as if it's just a couch or chair or something. Then when I got a dog at 30 I realized that they really do become a family member and you genuinely love them. I didn't lose him, but when I moved states, I felt like it was a better fit to leave him with a family that has a house and worked from home so that he could have a yard and constant attention. Took me over a year to get over it. It was hard but looking back, it was best for him.
-kinda abstract, but the difficulty of becoming rich.
