9 years old, holy moly. There is something to kids working early. While I don't appreciate the reasons, my parents made my sister & I their little slaves so I was a housekeeper/maid at 9 lol. I definitely appreciate the hard work integriry it instilled in me. They failed to teach us any actual life skills though. The only thing I knew about adulthood is that I had to be out of the house at 18. It was their way and that's fine, but it navigating the world a bit more difficult. My life story would probably be a little interesting but it would mostly be a lot of sadness and while I've contemplated writing it down, I don't really want to be revisit a lot of it. I've analyzed so much of it just to be able to move forward. No sense going back now.
