    Yeah that’s where my head went too. I’ve dealt with a pretty middle-of-the-road amount of hardship… wasn’t born with a silver spoon up my ass or anything, but no Hollywood-esque trauma arch either. Still, looking back over even just the past decade, there’s a lot more bad than good popping into my brain.

    And the cool part? I already can’t recall details from a lot of that shit. Just fuzzy concepts that my brain has filed into the fuck-it box and now I don’t have to worry about them cuz I’m literally incapable! Woohoo!

    Being fully conscious of all that, all the time… that would absolutely destroy my mental health. Fuck that!

        I doubt the condition means that every bad moment is always there to hurt you eternally. I mean, I have some traumatic memories but I don’t think about them 24/7.
