me when i was a child who had a crush on a girl and didn’t understand it or know what to do with it: pulls a handful of grass from the ground and sprinkles it over her head
if you tip your pizza delivery driver $10 or more they’ll remember your house and offer you protection from mirror world delivery drivers (shadow pizza hut, evil dominos, little caesers)
some times i don’t like an artist or an album or a certain song & then later i listen again & realize it’s good & i love it. it’s like i wasn’t ready for it, i didn’t need what it had to offer yet, but the time came. occasionally i see certain times a lot, whether it’s 12:34 or 4:44 & i take it as a sign. maybe there’s a reason i had that dream, or maybe there’s a reason that i wanted to go see the old house i moved from when i was 13. there’s something otherworldly about believing in signs. maybe guardian angels are real & they are letting me know i’m safe. maybe one day it can all make sense, it’ll click & even if i don’t understand i will understand.
literally can’t wait to be a 32 year old dad & protecting my baby girl or baby boy frum the world….. & taking them to school & taking the cutest pics of them…….. i love babies sm

yesterday this girl in my academic writing class sits down next to me and puts 3 bananas on the desk (which was jarring by itself) and i had two bananas in my backpack so i wanted to see if she would notice if i added those to her banana pile when she wasn’t looking and when she finally looked back at the bananas she sighed and said really quietly to herself “oh my god…i have so many…” and put all five of them in her backpack
there’s not really much discussion of child neglect on here so i guess i have to do it
p l e a s e don’t shame neglect survivors for not knowing “basic” things like how to eat a balanced diet, when to go to the doctor, how to drive, etc. you know these things (usually) because a caring adult taught them to you. we didn’t have that. we often enter adulthood knowing jack shit about how to take care of ourselves. we know we’re missing information, and we feel so fucking lost.
it’s okay to, if you have a friend who’s experienced neglect, try and help them learn how to take care of themselves. saying things like “hey, do you think you could try to eat at least one vegetable per day?” or “that infection looks pretty bad, do you want to go to a doctor?” is genuinely helpful. but belittling us for not already knowing these things is completely unproductive and unnecessarily cruel.
