If I try hard enough, I can forget but a part of me wishes to keep my hand on these memories, to feel them to their ends. Earlier today, I touched a hot pan and dropped my dinner, then flinched as I waited for the voice. Once, I let a lover place his hands around my throat. I don’t want to like it. My body, powerless with another; forgiveness before I can even shape the words.
the novelty of having a pet will never wear off on me i’ve had animals my entire life for 23 entire years and i still sometimes stop and go holy fuck there is just a little guy in my house
Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted
Wait what.
Sometimes old ladies had to kick the ladder out from under their stepfathers when they were girls and that’s valid
oh, my little old lady murder story was her replacing the medication in her abusive husband’s capsules with rat poison.
“back in the day, our grandmothers worked on their marriages and didn’t get divorced!” nah, friend, they COULDN’T get a divorce so sometimes they killed their fuckin husbands. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My grandma murdered her first husband the first time he beat their daughter.
I went caroling at a nursing home once and the conversation went from “your voices are lovely” to “I shot people during the war” rather quickly.
