Another thing I'm missing
I wish that when I was a child and it was easy that I had been encouraged to learn other languages and had access to learn them.
I've spent the past few hours reading translations of Baudelaire and I can feel that I'm really missing the beauty of his verse.
I wish I had the time now to learn additional languages. *sigh* Handicapped again by my parents and a system that just doesn't really care.
But hey, common white-trash parents like my mother are real proud they squirted out a baby, even if they were utterly incompetent in helping it become something better than what they were. This is why I'd never have kids. I know I come from garbage. Even though I'm far evolved from my parents, I would never be able to give a child sufficient tools to really excel in life. My own upbringing was simply too crude.
