Idc the chaos lives on forever
A: "i cant enjoy for two days in a row"
B: "why?"
A: "my parents will scold me"
this is an actual conversation.
The sheer lack of emotion sent through the second message haunts me. They've gotten used to it.
Parents are supposed to care for their children and provide them with a nice life that allows them to progress forward in society. But here they are, my friend's parents, scolding my friend for enjoying for two days in a row. I wonder what sort of emotions my friend is having. Revenge towards their parents? I would hope so. Considering everything they must have gone through, it is natural for revenge and/or vengeance to bubble up. They've already accepted this is how it's going to be, at least for a few years.
I really do hope they get an escape from all this and get time to actually live life.

[how are you?]
Some male Humboldt Penguins are exclusively homosexual, remaining with their male partners for their entire lives, or else re-pairing with another male should they lose their original partner. Other males are sequentially bisexual, pairing with a male after having lost one or more previous female mates. Still other males are simultaneously bisexual, engaging in both same-sex and opposite-sex courtship and copulation.
