It was the late 90's, and i'd just connected to rotten.com for the first time.

The day I was born when I was dropped on my head.

The day I got filled with holes

Lost my grandma in 2009. I was 19. First time experiencing death changes you forever.

Death is a muthafukka. shyt can destroy you. My school counselor called me into her office everyday for about 2 weeks to get me to talk but, I told her everyday I didn't have much to say because I didn't. The funeral home had let me stay with my brother for like 20 minutes alone and then and there I had got everything out. Don't wish that on my most vilest enemy.

between 18-20 was the darkest period of my life. also a whole lot of fun, but at some point during that i woke up and realized the hell i was living. turned my life around real quick, but i do feel like i'm headed into another period right now.

[GrindtooFilthy]

I personally felt it around 19 though

went to a concert and my ride back left me, it was raining and cold and 10 degrees below freezing, no money to get a hotel or uber. never felt so homicidal in my life. i told myself if we ever in the same room alone im gonna body shorty and i like to see a motherfukker stop me

i know what you mean, i hate that shyt so much

you in that dark space and finally climb out only to realize you see another dark cloud looming over your head

I saw a dude get shot at age 7 or 8. That was my first confrontation with mortality.
I remember vividly as well an old man going on a racist tirade on me when i was maybe 5. Saying you're not human and such. Several experiences like that around that age.
Saw my parents physically fight back then as well. Got my ass beat and cussed out almost daily as a young kid.
I had to learn the world wasn't always cold, not the other way around.

 

[Boogie]

When my neighborhood friend told me her moms boyfriend was raping her. I was 6. I told my mom and the next thing you know there's cops sorrounding the house. I was allowed to remain anonymous but I had to give statements for years in private about what she said to me and repeat it over and over word for word. I was like 9 when that shyt was over and already jaded and weary of males.

She got help and moved in with a nice rich black foster family.
