I’m so grateful adults today are realizing the effects that “whoopins” leave on people. I don’t think I’ll ever have children out of fear of perpetuating the cycle. I could never hit a kid, but a part of me still fears I would be just like my parents.
Sometimes the echoes of my sister’s screams play in the back of my head. All I could do was listen. I try so hard to remember all those nights we spent comforting each other bc that’s all we had, but it all gets blocked away with everything else. They did not love us.
We were getting beat before consciousness. My dad always loved to tell the story of my “only public tantrum” where I was 2 and overstimulated at walmart. He said he whooped my ass all the way to the bathroom and then more in there. I couldn’t even speak. I was still in diapers.
@homkamiro6291 Ever since I quit nicotine, these have been my three options. My body is trying to make it the secret fourth option, alcohol, but I can’t let that happen. Binge eating it is!!!!
@euflexua Wow why are people flaming you? You’re 100% correct. Glass Animals used to be my favorite band until they did their fuckass panic! at the disco switch up to pop. Heat waves, much like high hopes, is actual steaming garbage.
@t1ny69fr0g The way I had to deal with this at my local fair as a 21 year old. A week ago, mind you. I thought it stopped after graduation or something. 😍
