Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?
I took the test last year and I was Gryffindor
Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?
But I just took it and.. wow, people change.
WildChild443's Favorite Quotes
21. My father is run over
by a car.
He is passed out in the road with a blood alcohol content 4 times the legal limit.
I do not cry.
Four months later,
The nurses lose his pulse,
And I wonder whose life
Flashed before his eyes.
Rewinding VHS tapes
Old home videos
20.
19. I haven't brought a friend home in four years.
18. My mother sips the word "divorce"
Her mouth curls at the taste
Like it burns going down.
17. I start doing homework at Starbucks.
I have more meaningful conversations with the barista
Than with my family
16. I wait for Christmas Eve.
My brother and I usually exchange gifts to one another early
This year, he
And my father exchange blows.
My mother doesn't go to mass.
15. I come up with the theory that my father started drinking again
Because maybe he found out I'm gay.
Like if he could make everything else blurry,
Maybe somehow I'd look straight.
15. My mother cleans up his vomit in the middle of the night
And cooks breakfast in the morning like she hasn't lost her appetite.
15. I blame myself.
15. My brother blames everyone else.
15. My mother blames the dog.
15. Super Bowl Sunday My father bursts through the door like an avalanche
Picking up speed and debris as he falls
Banisters, coffee tables, picture frames
Tumbling, stumbling.
I find his AA chip on the kitchen counter.
14. My father's been sober for 10, Maybe 11, years?
I just know We don't even think about it anymore.
13.
12.
11. Mom tells me Daddy's "meetings" are for AA.
She asks if I know what that means.
I don't.
I nod anyway.
10. My parents never drink wine at family gatherings.
All my other aunts and uncles do.
I get distracted by the TV and forget to ask why.

6. I want to be Spider-Man.
Or my dad. They're kinda the same.
5.
4.
3. I have a nightmare
The recurring one about Ursula from The Little Mermaid
So I get up I waddle toward Mommy and Daddy's room,
Blankie in hand, I pause.
Daddy's standing in his underwear
Silhouetted by refrigerator light.
He raises a bottle To his lips.

0. When my mother was pregnant with me,
I wonder if she hoped,
As so many mothers do,
That her baby boy would grow up to be
Just like
His father.
He is passed out in the road with a blood alcohol content 4 times the legal limit.
I do not cry.
Four months later,
The nurses lose his pulse,
And I wonder whose life
Flashed before his eyes.

- you're not scared
of the dark,
you're scared
of what's in
it.
- you're not afraid of heights, you're afraid of pain of falling.
- you're not afraid of people around you, you're just afraid of rejection.
- you're not afraid to love, you're afraid of not being loved back.
- you're not afraid to try again, you're afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.
- you're not afraid of heights, you're afraid of pain of falling.
- you're not afraid of people around you, you're just afraid of rejection.
- you're not afraid to love, you're afraid of not being loved back.
- you're not afraid to try again, you're afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.
You never really know what's changed
until you look at an old picture and remember
exactly how worse it was back then
and realize how far you've come and
how many demons you've defeated
to get to today.
It's crazy.
I remember when I was 11 the biggest problem in my life was
deciding which Sprouse twin I was going to marry.
