Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should literally be tried for war crimes, resolutely shit, lacking in imagination, uninformed reimagining of, limp-wristed, premature, ill-informed attempt at, talentless fuckfest, recidivistic shitpeddler, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another.

I'm getting over it, I think! For me, cohabiting with someone who regularly and explicitly tells me that I just need to reach out to old friends helps! They also tell me that, even though I haven't talked to someone in 6 months, it doesn't mean they've irrevocably dropped out of my life, which is objectively true and also very hard to actually internalize

I moved cities twice, and moved houses a few times within one of those cities. That's certainly much less than some other people go to, but at a young age any move at all is bad. Like, according to research it's trauma only slightly below death of a family member or parents divorcing.

I don't remember much of my first house. Or, like, literally anything at all from that stage of my life. There's just a barrier in my memory when I was seven and everything before that faded out because, I guess, there weren't enough physical referents in my life for those memories to be kept alive. Pretty much the only memory I have of that house itself is crying right before we moved.

Although actually I think the one that affected me the most was while I was at college, my parents moved out of the house I lived in as a teenager. For that one I felt less in control (I wasn't involved in picking a new house, whereas I was at 7), and also I wasn't there for the moving so like I didn't get to say goodbye or do any grieving, just I hear over the phone that it's happening and I don't get to go back to that place.

I'm a real big homebody these days, and I wonder how much that's related. I want to control the space I live in, I want to personalize it, and I want to occupy it. My emotions have a very complex relationship to the physical space that I'm in.
