i feel like it's time to share a little bit about my childhood for the entertainment of you UF'ers. i grew up in a very conservative Christian family where my father ruled the household and kept his four women (my mom, two sisters and me) under his "umbrella of protection" in order to preserve our purity in a biblical bubble. i was homeschooled from kindergarten through my senior year of high school. i went to church with my family twice on sundays and only hung out with people who were a part of our church, homeschool friends, or other conservative groups my parents chose to join. my influences were carefully monitored and i was expected to be a certain way or else i felt like i disappointed my parents. old school as hell guys. i have somehow survived relatively unscathed but there exist some embarrassing photos of me in long denim skirts and shapeless shirts in late middle/early high school. *shudder*
