  • Tinder date, my train was late so late so we meet at the train station and walked to the bar. On the way I had a smoke and he told me in lengths how he quit smoking a while ago and how good it was. That’s when I realized he talks with a fake deep voice, sounded like he’s trying to imitate Batman…
    At the bar he switched between small talk and his seemingly hot roommate, he’s definitely not interested in, otherwise they would have had sex already (obviously!).

    On the way back to the train station he wanted a cigarette from me.

    Nothing bad, just weird flexes all over. The voice killed me…






  • It’s a money kind of thing.

    I spend my elementary school holidays working on my father’s farm. When I moved to my mother I started to work for her instead. Doing chores and taking care of yourself was simply expected. No actual choice, since grown ups were out working, sleeping or taking care of the things you’re not old enough to do.

    There is a point where people simply can’t afford it to not parentify their children. And the people you perceived as “poor” simply didn’t reach that point.

    I don’t want to say my parents weren’t at fault but in that exact moment in their life they had no other choice, at least my mother, who also leaned way more on us.
