Most of my life has been spent rocking out the generic aisle. Generic food, medicine, equipment, everything. I've learned to appreciate a good meal and a bad meal. I've learned to live off of "what we got", not "what we can get". I've never made extra runs to the store for something we didn't have, nor am I used to getting expensive gifts or a new pair of underwear every few months.
SO, now that I'm here in Richmond, I nearly had a heart attack. The relatives I'm staying with are LOADED. Not loaded in "loaded" terms, but loaded in MY terms. Everything is name brand, I have new clothes, make-up, and I got to make an amazing meal from scratch without having to compensate for anything. If I needed something, THEY WENT TO GET IT with no questions asked! Isn't that amazing!?!?!?!?!?! I made teriyaki chicken, vanilla poached pears, awesome green beans, flavored rice, and the best mango smoothies ever and NONE OF IT was packaged and none of it had weird ingredients because we didn't have anything else!! No Shake N Bake! No packaged instant Kroger brand rice!
Innit that great?! Screw my hometown, I'm friggin staying here. Poverty's nice, but... Wait, no it isn't! Ha!
