I always wonder if I’d be the same person I am today if my parents hadn’t exposed me to sex from a young age by openly fucking and doing BDSM around the house, if I hadn’t had unsupervised internet access, and if I didn’t have friends with just as dysfunctional families feeding off each other’s bad habits. I feel like I grew up too fast and didn’t really mature at the same time, if that makes sense.

    I can’t tell if this is a shitpost or not. (Intentional or otherwise).

    The Nature vs. Nurture is poorly phrased.

    We have: (a small selection)

    • genetics
    • epigenetics
    • physical environment
    • emotional environment
    • information environment
    • social environment

    All shaping us at the same time. So yes, if you would go back in time and be the same genetic you, but like adopted at birth somewhere else, you would still be you genetically, but everything else would be different.

    Maybe better, maybe worse. Even if life brought you down some bad backroads, you never know. Maybe this is the multiverse that takes you to where you really want to be. Your best self. We’ll see.
