"You see faces, not hearts.."

It's one of those things you don't fully understand until you're in their shoes. There are some things that could be damaging over time but I think sometimes being pushed away either by fear or other means could be good. I'm a parent myself. I'm not sure if I would use fear as a deterant because I know things are sometimes out of your control. But if I can do something, I sure as hell will.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

maybe i just need to read about it myself rather than being forwarded to. i really dislike forwarded-messages.
what i meant is the worry to a point where to tell me stop eating beef completly because some study says that it can clog up the arteries

sure it adds up, but nor does it go away all of the sudden when you STOP eating and as if all the beef you ate before will not count++

Yeah I can understand that but at this point you're already aware of these things. Regardless of the fear involved in an outcome, if you're aware of it than it may not bother you. But if you never knew or were never aware of it to begin with, that's entirely different.


Like telling a little kid that they could die from a single drink of alcohol. Sure it doesn't sound plausible to you but to someone who has no idea could find that as serious.


And just becoming aware of a certain thing even though you've been following that particular thing for awhile doesn't change the fact that you did it. But still it's a step in the other direction and by choice which is much healthier than fear tactics.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wouldn't say it's all about them not trusting you. For some parents, they just care about your wellbeing. Maybe they had it different when they were kids and they don't want to see the same mistakes or problems. And yes, some may just be really fucking paranoid. But regardless, I think in hindsight most parents just care deeply for their children.



Even if they don't know how to express it without freaking the kids out.

How ya doing, buddy?
