i used to have one world
that changed a few years ago when that world split in half now i live in two worlds
with my mom i live close to town where i have more friends it's closer to the life i would
have had if my parents stayed in atlanta to raise me my other world is on a homestead with my dad
my other friends are there pigs
sheep
chickens
when i was around four years old curious george was one of my favorite programs to watch
george lived in two worlds as well half of his life was an apartment in the city
the other half was in a farm in the country
it's interesting how similar my life is now compared to george
there are some benefits to living in these two worlds when i'm living in town with
my mom i enjoy swimming in a community pool playing video games is also really fun for me
sometimes i play golf with my mom and friends on the homestead i get to care for animals
when this was my only world there were a lot more animals here especially chickens
i was a lot smaller then so i wasn't able to help with chores as much
being 11 now i'm more capable of helping
it's definitely easier this year to haul the pig feed bucket out to the pigs than it was
last year i pretty much own the pig drawers when i'm in this world i soak their feed i make sure
they are fed and they have enough water i'm also finally able to use the lawn tractor well enough
to bow the grass in weeds my dad manages the sheep and chickens though i do help keep them water too
i'm not quite big enough to move the mobile sheet pen or chicken tractor on my own yet
maybe next year the sheep were in here last week it used to be a jungle but they did a
pretty good job clearing it out now we're gonna move them to those tall grasses over there
there are some things that these two worlds have in common
the viola is one of those things i switched to viola recently from cello
i have to take viola lessons all summer and practice every day in either world well cello
is big and bulky it was hard to move around on the fingerboard i had to like stretch my fingers like
really far but this however is easier one it's lighter smaller smaller case easy to carry around
two it's just well i don't have to stretch my fingers as much there are some challenges with
living in these two different worlds sometimes i don't like some of the projects i have to help
my dad with on the homestead like when we took down all the fencing around one of the shelters
when i'm with my mom i miss my dad's dog willa when i'm with my dad i miss my mom's dog biscuit
but my world first split it was hard going from one world to the other took an adjustment after a
few years i've grown to appreciate the differences in the two worlds and the experiences within them
