Surprised at how much my parents hated on me for slacking when now as an adult all I wish I could do was slack more.

This reminds me of how mad my dad would get at my atrocious failing grades in high school. He would say to me, “Do you want to dig ditches?” In reference to my future job prospects.

Now I’m a tech worker and somewhat of an intellectual and frankly yes, I love to dig. My brother drives a back hoe and is very happy

There is surprisingly little you must do to simply exist.

So, you didn’t do anything. No big deal.
