when i was a kid rummaging thru my mums cd collection to steal Good Stuff i accidentally stumbled across one called ‘songs for bonking’ which was coloured awful negative neon picture of ppls feet on top of each other in a bed and ALL the songs were like fucking ska punk
My age peers are literally full of “It happened to me” tales and it’s not about outdoing each other, it’s about comparing scars and fist bumping.
I was fortunate enough to have a parent at home after school, but I was still left to keep an eye on my two-years-younger sister by 11 and was doing laundry by 13 and had a first real job at 16. I’m working now with twenty-somethings who are in their first year of med school who don’t know how to budget and whine to me that they can’t keep up with their coursework and what do you mean I might need to get a job to cover the rest of my expenses that my loans don’t cover??
