RE: The Twins Have Their First Identity Crisis
That's so cool that you got to meet your biological family! I probably won't ever meet mine, but we would help our girls find theirs if they ever wanted to. I'd love to hear more about what it was like for you growing up as an adoptee and how/why you decided to settle down in the Philippines if you are open to share!
I visited Japan when I was 5 years old, but I was treated so differently from my sister (who has blond hair and blue eyes) that I didn't want to go back ... it took me a long time to overcome that fear. I'm open to going now, but my husband and I haven't had the opportunity.
In the middle of my High School years I was performing poorly in school so I was placed in an accelerated school that would help me graduate on time. I ended up graduating at the age of 17 (a year early).
After that I joined the U.S. Navy (at 17 years old) and had a lot of interesting experiences. But I got medically discharged for a mental illness after 3 1/2 years and was given free medicine and a small pension.
After settling in and recovering from my illness (w/the help of medicine) I realized that I could live a better life with my pension in a country that had a lower cost of living.
So I moved to the Philippines in 2009, met my wife and got married in 2010. I have been here since and enjoy the city I live in. It's nice here and @emaferice has a good family 😊
Now in 2018 I am looking for ways to generate income. I would need to find something that doesn't take too much time everyday since I require a lot of sleep. I am hoping that Steemit can play a role in securing my finances.
I have some experience with blogging and vlogging since I have made videos for YouTube with my wife and enjoy writing too. That's my story in a nutshell 😊😀😁
