So... life funnies. Do you know how on these ASD tests, they ask questions like, 'do you ever take things too literally?' Well, if you don't know that, plenty of tests checking for ASD do.

One time, I got in so much trouble. I was waiting to die if it were by parents, as every kid must have experienced in their lives.

I was told to sit on the toilet(fun fact, actually the same toilet my mother beat her fists on my head... my head a drum... heads aren't drums, mother... drums give better sound... don't you know that?... anyways... a prior post.) Anyhow, I was told to sit on this toilet and eat soap. Now, all of you have watched "Christmas Story", so you know this meant put the soap in your mouth and suffer with a bad taste in your mouth so you'll associate your bad speech with that bad taste from the soap. However, I 'literally' did as I was told because I was scared and took the directions 'literally'. I ate that whole new bar of soap. My stomach didn't feel good after that. I was laughed at by the same person who told me to do that.

Kind of funny, though. Maybe. I guess.

I just put sadfish in a word association game. If only, but you know other people have had a worse life by leaps and bounds. I mean, some people live near minefields or in war torn areas or live in north korea or just had it all a thousand times worse. I think that's always important to remember. My life was roses compared to someone else out there. I knew good parts, you know? My life wasn't always awful, it had joys in it. Everyone I knew wasn't bad. I had a sibling, I played in leaves, I had a bike, and I played video games. I mean, sure, my Dad dropped me off at a homeless shelter after leaving my job after half a decade. Still, that was because I was playing with spiritual stuff I shouldn't have been playing with. Sure, that kind of compounded the internal issues that my mother started, but it was my own fault. Heck, half of life going wrong is our own fault anyways. We didn't get the school done that needed to be done, or train under the person we needed to train under, and then we find ourself with too much free time and wonder why budgeting is so hard. It's just looking back and saying... hmm... what can I do now?
