No adventurous travels here. All calm and more or less according to plan.


Belittling? Because I told you that your romanticized, simplistic image of the potential people living there is stupid? Well, it is.
I worked in a factories and I know the countryside and that cr*p about salt of the earth is hilarious to me. They are all the same just the decorations change. Instead of 'what my followers on insta will say' it's 'what my neighbour will say'. Instead of 'that dress will look amazing in the club' it's 'this dress will look amazing in church'.

You have good people and bad people, the rest doesn't mean a sh*t.

Oh give it a break. If anything it has more to do with doctors wanting extra income. And yes, your parents said yes so the consent was given. You weren't kidnapped but your parents made one of those decisions every parent does many times during kids lifetime. You just don't like what they decided.
