      A lot.. really a fucking lot...
      It's buzzing around in my head right now.. and I just can't. I think I'll write a friends only journal, maybe it'll help quieting down the noise D:

    Sorry to hear that ):

    I first realized that I had become a grown up when my parents started to reveal how damn racist and sexist they are (they didn't show any kind of prejudices when I was growing up so it came as quite a shock..I guess they figured that since I'm an adult they can say shit now ugh).

      Aaah man, I'm sorry to hear that D:
      Luckily my parents are pretty cool, sadly not all parents are... And I'm starting to learn about all the horrifying parents and their broken children, whom they sheltered me from when I was younger. People around me were getting hurt, and hurt badly by these people.. and I never knew.
      It's a long time gone. I'm by far a child anymore.. but these things still sicken me. Especially the sheer amount of them.
      There always appear to be some old horror story, I had been shielded from, to be found if I start the wrong conversation.

    watching the news is something i can no longer do on a daily basis. or even weekly. practicing building a thick skin is something i'll never get used to. i feel you on this.

      It's usually not a big problem for me at all. Handling news isn't nearly as hard, as hearing stories of people around you getting hurt in the most grotesque of ways.
      It hits right at home. This was about people who were around me on a daily basis.
      But maaan, I do follow you. Everything get So much worse, if you aren't feeling the best yourself.
