Anthony Curtis
@anthonycurtis.bsky.social
Former gifted kid, current middle-aged basic. Screaming into the void from suburbia. Wrote a memoir because trauma doesn't process itself. Digital PM, runner, cat dad. Still missing my twin. He/him. Find me on Substack https://anthonyscurtis.com/
There's a bottle of opioids in my drawer. I caught myself thinking someone would pay for them.
That thought came from somewhere specific: watching my father do exactly that when I was twelve.
Wrote about the gap between having the impulse and acting on it.
