was just showing tadpoles to a child and asked "do you know what these are?" and he excitedly shouted "STINGRAYS!" I said that's a great guess because they are shaped a lot like stingrays, but I told him they're tadpoles and that they'll grow up to be a different animal that lives in the water around here, and "do you know what tadpoles turn into?" and his eyes lit up and he said "STRINGRAYS!"

"Your love language is what you were deprived of as a child" actually no you're allowed to want, prefer and like things without everything tracing back to some dormant unprocessed trauma. You can just say you want to bounce on it without having to explain how as a child you always wanted - but never got - a trampoline.

I hate googling shit like "why am I still sad and tired when I ate and slept and have been walked and watered" and it's always some shit like "your brain is fried because your parents sucked at handling kids when you were a kid". Like can it be literally anything else sometime, just for the sake of variety.
