two random young dudes once asked me did my dad rape me as a child, because I have so much self harm scars. I have never been so insulted in my life. I choke up and had nothing to say. I just walked away. people often ask about my scars and I hate it. how do people think it’s ok to go to a stranger and say nasty things about their appearance.
The psycho Vietnam veteran who lives in my building, who also happens to be my arch nemesis, has called me a “dirty hippy,” a “gang member,” and a “stinky Mexican.”
I just do my best to ignore him.
And also pray to the gods to give him a lovely heart attack.
