Content Notes: This episode mentions self-harm, drug/alcohol abuse, and sexual assault. Please take gentle care while listening. <3
It's summer 2004 and I'm working my afterschool job as an egg picker at a local farm. When I'm not at work or school, I am spending every waking moment getting high and drunk. Oh, and did I mention, I aM sO LiKe iN LoVe?!?!
A lot of things came to the surface in this episode but the main thing is learning that a relationship that I always thought of as not that bad, turns out to be really disturbing.
This episode is LACED with drama and I really dive deep into some insane things that happened to me around this age. This episode has it all! Betrayal! A love triangle! Sex! Drugs! Rock and Roll! Poetry!
Have a listen and take good care - this episode deals with both sexual assault and self-harm (which was a HUGE surprise that I am still processing!)
