Neko Case

So, I mean, that's one of the reasons I tried to pick more interesting stories from childhood that were scenes maybe of good things too. Because I didn't want it to just be you know, oh, poor me, especially because it's not unusual. It's most people's experience. I mean, you know, my situation with my mother is pretty bizarre.

But neglect or abuse or things like that, those are most people's experiences. Or growing up really poor, like, that is most people.

I didn't know that until I was in my early 20s and I told somebody I knew that my mom faked her death. And then they were like, that's the weirdest fucking thing I've ever heard. And I was like, oh, yeah, that is actually pretty weird, isn't it? But, you know, kids, like kids just think what's happening to them is what happens.

Only in a super nerdy kind of neurodivergent way. Slash Virgo way where I'm like, oh, I'm taking all the things and I'm organizing them in this box. And so now I can put this box over here like a hard drive. So my brain has more room in it. And it's all color coded and I know where it is.
