I really wish I'd been medicated/encouraged as a child and given the chance to learn more languages because there's a special kind of joy that comes with linguistic variety in life

#im bilingual but struggle in my home town since we dont have native french speakers here #but im sat by the window listening to my neighbors chat loudly in Ukrainian and its such a lovelylanguage #and i wish i could speak it with them and the elderly couple upstairs y'know?#i wished id been encouraged to learn the various languages of my city alongside the ones in school. so spanish and Ukrainian to start #probably some arabic at some point and some korean as well. it just would be nice to have grown up with even bare bones language #for the different communities i grew up around #i have the curiosity and the brain for it just not the executive function
