Trying not to over-share is my natural state and I am usually pretty bad at it

  • I was hanging out with my cousin (I was maybe 7yo at the oldest) and we were laughing because I had suddenly farted. He responded with his own toot, but to our surprise, it came out with such force and velocity that it shook every window in the room…or so I had thought.

    Turns out that a large shipping truck had passed by at just the right time and because of where we were in the room, he had seen it, but I could not. His earth-shaking ass-clapper was but a farce! Hardly even a poot left his patootie! And still, he let me believe for years (I was a naive kid lol) that he could end the world if he only ate enough beans and wanted it bad enough. What a rascal!










  • I have only ever lived in slums and ghettos except for the two years I spent living with my mother after her second divorce. There was also a half a year spent at my exes family’s summer home. Never felt so free as being able to wake up, go outside and see nothing but trees and hills in every direction.

    Other than those two spots, it’s been shitty landlords and inconsiderate neighbors all the way through. Color me surprised if I ever find myself with enough money for more than food and housing.

    Even a laptop in hs seemed like an incredible luxury to me. Only “rich” kids got that stuff, from my perspective back then. All my toys except a single gameboy color and two pokemon games were gifted to me by my far better off cousins/aunt and uncle.

    The way things are going in my country, I don’t expect this to change before I die. Money and the comfort it can bring are a pipedream for people like me, who grew up in dirt, now still live in dirt, and can only imagine a life above all the grubs and crawlers down here in the dusty, dusty dirt. Oh well 🤷‍♀️
