I graduated with an associates degree in 2006. It was hard finding a job for some reason even with a degree and a internship under my belt. I think it took me 3-6 months to find a job.
By 2008, I was in that new job and mad at my step mom. So i moved out and got a roommate. From there it was very good at least for me. Only thing I dealt with was work and my health issues.
2008 was basically the start of my adult life. The naive and confident me.
My mom sometimes uses “doomaflagidad” for basically anything. The only way I’ve been able to translate is by using context clues. Usually based on what we’re talking about or if she’s pointing or using hand gestures.
