My tonsil surgery. Still really hard to talk about.
The death of my mother. People were bringing up stuff like “my dog died” and I decided to let them revel in their pity victories.
The numerous times I had sex in high school. It was clear no one else had experienced the glorious joys of fucking, and I wanted to fit in.
When my older brother gave me a bong for Christmas. Honestly just totally forgot about this one, might send a follow-up message in the GroupMe about it.
The time I thought Mark’s mom was coming on to me. It was a big moment in my life, and the time discovered I wasn’t into older women, but I pinky- promised Mark I wouldn’t tell anyone.
