    swing around the top

    i don’t think it’s physically possible but as a kid, the idea of that scared the shit out of me. we used to swing each other with my friend and once swung me “too hard” and i started crying and become a bit more suspicious of him. (ofc he did not mean bad and he immediately stopped, he was (still is! although we’ve departed cos my family had to move) a great guy, although he might not fully understand why i’m so scared of something that’s actually so much fun)

    i had many of such fears. of things that would be physically impossible but i saw them somewhere in a cartoon or someone say a joke and suddenly i realized that while it was probably a joke I don’t know that it can’t be possible to some extent

    people think that to be a nerd is a choice, but sometimes it’s the only way to stay sane.
