24. Describing my relationship with my father could take up an entire blog’s worth of posts. Or therapy sessions. He’s… difficult. Suffice it to say that he’s a (now retired) Asian medical doctor with severe control issues and narcissistic personality disorder. My adolescence was less fun than it could have been. And now it’s heartbreaking to see what Alzheimer’s is doing to him.

25. My mom is a trooper. She’s got her own issues, but she’s a good person and she deserves a medal for having put up with, and taken care of, my dad for all these years.

27. Mentally, yeah.

45. Regrets? I’ve had a few. Mostly missed opportunities.

53. My first kiss was, embarrasingly enough, on stage with a friend of mine back in middle school. Neither of us had any experience, we both went in too fast and ended up knocking teeth, it was a mess.

54. I grew up reasonably well off, though I didn’t much realize it at the time. I was pretty insulated. I figured everyone had a house (and most of my friends did. The middle class was still a thing back when I was growing up).

74. I’m sure I have been hurt by someone who was hurting. It’s been ages, though, and it didn’t really stick.

75. I’ve only broken up with a couple of past girlfriends; mostly I was the one getting dumped because I was a teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrible boyfriend. The couple of times I initiated it were because the passion had died out on my end.

Thanks for the asks, anon!
