Concussion Party
Forgive me for everything I am about to write. I have a concussion. Truly, genuinely. I fell, rather spectacularly, down a medieval staircase. It wasn’t actually the clumsiest thing I did that day, but regardless, it had an equally spectacular impact, literally, on the back of my head. It was quite a shock when the headache hadn't faded 3 days later, and my wit with friends seemed to be lagging by a full minute delay.

A grandmother’s cooking isn’t just about food — it’s about warmth, love, and memory. But some grandmothers go beyond that. They become legends — the ones everyone calls when the cake fails, when the sauce curdles, or when the holidays are coming.

Why Did I Always Feel Like This?. Content Warning.
Trigger warning: the following story will discuss weight and other weight-related topics Growing up in Texas, my childhood, while parts of it were great, the household was both toxic and abusive. My parents, whom I've been estranged from for nearly 15 years, were verbally and physically abusive towards me. They would ridicule and belittle me about everything: they way that I looked, talked, and anything that they saw about me as weird. I'm the oldest of three children (younger brother and sister) and I always was the target of my parents' wrath. I was a skinny kid, and they would make horrible comments about my body, saying things like I needed to eat. For context, I was in high school and weighed almost 110 pounds. Sure, it's not a healthy weight for a teenage boy. However, at the same time, it's not nice to body shame your own child. No matter what I ate, I was still slim. The constant critique of my body from my parents stuck with me and my self-esteem drastically decreased, especially when I entered adulthood.
