this brought me and my teenage son so much joy to watch. thanks for sharing.

My mom had one of these in the 1980s, lol, wut.

This is so gross 🤮; it is painful to read.

Me. I am an adoptee that got married that way.

It is visually marvelous that the pencil's eraser appears to be chewed on.

I was adopted solely because I was female. Had I been born male, my adoptive parents would have selected another baby. "You're still an object" is a true and painful awareness for adoptees.

!!!!

Oh also the Umbrella Academy and Locke and Key

Minus episode one of Dark Matter…That was stressful

Silo and/or Dark Matter

lol 😂

Yes, their/our entire reality is being untethered is very well said. Rebuilding the gigantic network of stories we've told ourselves our whole lives about who we are and where we are from and why we are the way we are...all of it shifts. It is hard work to do and even harder to do alone. 💖

Other adoptees is the best thing I have found so far. Other adoptees sharing their thoughts make me feel seen.

You explain this so well. I came out of the fog last summer and I am in my 50s. I wish people could tread water with us as well.

or if they consulted adoptees. I am hoping through the adoptee hive mind, we can learn more. Link to the award:
