  • Definitely coffee. I know it’s super popular but I can’t stand it. I kinda like the smell of it, but the taste I find awful and the aftereffects are excruciating and longlasting. Someone suggested I might have an allergy. I might or might not look further into this at some point

    I have tried decaf though, once… chasing the hope that it would still -despite the absence of caffeine- trigger bowel movement at a critical time in my life. and it did! Apparently caused by gastrine, from my superficial reading.

    This really hits home, so much so it’s uncanny. As a child, constantly questioning the rules got me in trouble a lot. But that wasn’t the hard part. The hard part was observing I was alone in doing this, completely alone. Nobody else my age seemed remotely interested in the “why”, and seemed to have no problem complying with rules they didn’t understand. That was true for both school rules and maths class : what’s the application of this theorem? ->do not concern yourself with this, I’d hear. The adults were quick to scold me for something that was intrinsically natural, because they thought I was challenging their authority. I was just trying to understand. I was unfit for this world and it nearly broke me on several occasions.
