  5. CW: Bunch of personal stuff, some kind of whiny

    Sometimes I think of how many physical/mental strikes I had against me from birth. This shrimpy* kid with a progressive hearing loss, twisted-up legs, deeply fucked #executiveFunction, who almost died right away from mastitis, who was spanked or whipped almost every day of his life from age 2-12, whose mom probably had a #personalityDisorder and ran an authoritarian dictatorship household (6 kids), whose dad was rarely around and honestly didn't seem all that involved or interested when he was; the kid who went to boarding school (for the #deaf) at age 13 and never felt 100% like part of the family after that...

    Sometimes I feel sorry for myself. Other times I feel like Fuck Yeah I'm Still Here (and somehow gainfully employed and have an absofuckinglutely amazing kid).

    And I remember that I was also that shrimpy* kid who couldn't stop #reading; who was obsessed with finding out what was true and right; who loved visual, musical, and dramatic #art almost more than life; who played with #words and ideas instead of balls and teammates, who had a mother willing to slap you in the face for disrespect but also willing to fight half a dozen school districts to get her kids into the best classes or #PublicSchool available, whose father didn't seem to like him all that much, but did love him and worked himself almost to death, giving up the career he was passionate about to feed his family.

    The mix of #selfPity and gratitude swings wide, sometimes. This morning it's #gratitude.

    *No longer shrimpy, starting at about age 25; in fact, kind of chunky since then.
