Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso

CHAPTER

Reflections of a Texas Upbringing

This chapter reflects on the speaker's childhood experiences in Houston during the late 80s and early 90s, particularly the influence of a large evangelical megachurch on their formative years. The discussion contrasts the freedom of unsupervised play with today's parenting challenges, the impact of technology on childhood reading, and the process of self-discovery through journaling. The speaker grapples with moral complexities, personal accountability, and the significance of their upbringing while expressing a deep curiosity about life's experiences.
