That sounds interestingly similar to my daughter.
I just had a text “conversation” with her. She got all her tats and piercings “because she could,” because “all her life” she was told what she could and couldn’t do.
She did what she wanted from the time she figured out she could and get away with it with her dad’s blessing. But you didn’t hear that from me!
The sun is coming in the window again! YAY! It’s a nice day for the MLK parade in Vegas. When I worked, I would watch the parades from a third floor window. It was a good seat, and I was warm!
I had a conversation with Anoreth about “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina.”
Claiming that one’s present actions are a reaction to previous conditions is common. When I first met DP, he claimed that the reason his apartment was filthy was because he’d had to keep things clean when he lived in barracks. I told him that was infantile.
