It just occurred to me how selfish I have been to lounge around enjoying my surroundings all this time without showing you all how beautiful the home we are staying in is! It feels like we are staying in paradise :) Rio really enjoys hiding in all the plants.
…eh, and chewing on them.
i grew up poor, with an absent, abusive father, unable to afford clothes for school, and watching relatives struggle with addiction. that’s why i feel so deeply for the people of the undercity. after years of fighting through a man’s world and countless hardships, my life has improved beyond what i ever imagined. i thank god for it every day
