That my grandmother was once an alcoholic and addicted to morphine.(She died from a heart attack years later, shortly after my grandfather was prescribed morphine)
In grade 10, finding out that one of my best friends had been dating a 21-year-old, who sexually assaulted her days after her 15th birthday.
The joy of smoking.
I would have to say the joy and pain of love also. The joy is great, I just wish I had never discovered the pain.
After last night, I’d also like to add-
alcohol.
I wish I’d never discovered this thread…
Ha! That is uncanny. I never even looked at this thread before I started my linked thread.
Huh.
Weird.
Junk food I’m addicted to: Pepsi, Cheez-its, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and M&Ms.
Benson & Hedges Menthol Lights 100s.
LSD.
That my grandfather molested my Mother and her sisters, and his Christian behavior was a big crock of shit.
When I was 13, walking in on my mom screwing some other dude. I’m 23 now, my parents are still together. Would this have anything to do with me being not being able to talk to women? If I ever see this guy again, assuming he’s not dead already, I’ll kill him.
That one of my best friend’s SO is cheating with somebody really kind of disgusting.
That I’m not nearly as smart as I thought I was when I was, oh, say, 23 or so. Oh, to be a smug, arrogant, self-satisfied know-it-all again.
Religion born of a life-altering epiphany.
Hard-to-overcome mental illness.
The depth of my mother’s (and a couple other people’s) hatefulness, pettiness and revenge.
Overeating to a horrible degree as a compensation and coping mechanism.
Having one’s spirit completely broken.
Credit cards
Credit cards and overdraft protection
Dicovering that my mum was having an affair when I was 6 and the subsequent guilt I felt after telling my father and ending their 22 year marriage.
Speedballs.
Online shopping
What the water in my health club’s sauna tastes like.
I could have lived a much happier life had I never “discovered” (read: realized) my mortality…
