Expect to find curse words, nudity, (occasionally explicit) talk of sex, and angry ranting, but NEVER slurs or sexually violent language. I use TW when I am aware of the need and on request.

I'd never, in a million years, use any of these things as a response to something you've written. I just meant I'm not likely to be as careful, or aware, in my own journal. I'm for giving it a go, if you are. I just needed to be completely honest with you from the get-go, so I didn't upset or offend you.

Someone calling me stupid, or implying that I'm an idiot, sends me spiralling into my childhood. The adults in my life were pretty ignorant and assumed I was of below average intelligence because I struggled with numbers. I was dissuaded from following my dreams of being a doctor because, obviously, I wasn't bright enough.

When, at 23, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, I was bitter about the treatment I'd received at the hands of the adults who were supposed to care for and support me. It's an issue I've worked through, but I've still got a huge chip on my shoulder when it comes to being called stupid.

I tell you this to give you a bit of insight that I'd never actively hurl words at someone with the intention of hurting them, I just don't always think things through when I'm venting in my journal.
