My Journey to Self-Discovery I was 16 years old at the time this happened. 18+ to read. Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Format, isn't that good. ~~~ "Mom, I'm just wondering if I really have to come with you?" I asked my Mom. We were packing up for a trip to my Mom's country; Thailand. I was born and raised in Canada, but my Mom said that her Mom was really sick and that they might... she didn't say the final word. "Yes, hurry up and pack up, I've got tickets already and we're leaving tonight. Make sure, check 50 times that you have everything." She said nervously as she was packing up her clothes. "This is fucking stupid," I whispered to myself as I went into my room. ~~~ It was fucking hot in Thailand. I know it's hot in Canada during the Summer but the last few days in Thailand have been killer hot. And Mom's in her parents 100 degrees room all day crying and whispering words to her Mom. There's nothing much to do. ~~~ Mom wanted me to buy some vegetables from the local store so she can make Grandma some soup. The problem, I didn't even know the way to the store. Mom handed me some Thailand money called Thai Baht. She told me to hurry up but I was taking my time as I walked to the store. I went inside what appeared to be a run down store, looking around for the vegetables. It smelled so bad, I quickly grabbed what Mom said to buy, put it in the bag, and gave the cashier some money. He counted it all and gave me some back. With a smile, he said something and waved bye to me. …and then things took a turn
