My allergies have been acting up all day which has been driving me up the wall but has caused me to realize just how much they've lessened since I've been out of public school. I remember having such bad allergies in elementary school through middle school that it became a regular thing for me to develop the typical red skin around my nose and philtrum, rubbed absolutely raw from how bad the allergies were. I looked like the child they would put in those allergy medicine and tissue box ads, skin dry and red from the constant wiping, eyes wet with tears from the constant sneezing and dust in my eyes. I remember I even had some silly little nickname that they'd taunt me with, calling me "tissue girl," which bothered me when I was 9 but I find quite funny now from the childishness of it all. I was actually bullied for my allergies, not really by that stupid little title, honestly, I was more tortured by how everyone treated me like I was carrying the plague, refusing to even talk to me. Sometimes they would make a point to not touch me, like skin to skin contact would make me contagious. I, being a small child who was hotheaded and stubborn, got angry and didn't let them make it my problem. I think sometimes I would be a bit of a little shit back and throw my tissues at them, which in retrospect was VERY unsanitary but it was really a show of how much shit I would refuse to take. Sometimes I envy my confidence from then because I really never internalized how bad treated like that actually was, I had just accepted that those people were dumb and didn't really matter (08/04/2024). — Mars ᓚᘏᗢ |
