family trauma dumping time
#so like#anyone who knows me knows that i was estranged from my dad's parents since i was like 5#like nah fuck those assholes#i didnt attend their funerals and neither did any of my siblings or my parents#there was a tornado before one of their funerals and my sister said it was the gates of hell opening up for her#i literally forget most people have 4 grandparents as standard bc i only ever had 2. those other people weren't my family#i also have a big mixed up family with lots of really super amicable divorces so for me family is very much whoever puts in the effort#ANYWAY i discounted those assholes so completely#that when it came time to choose my middle name i picked joseph#which was my brother's name but he died way before i was born#and it was literally like. a year after picking that and after i had finally gotten it legally changed#that i even CONSIDERED that it means my middle name is my dad's father's name#like. just did not even put that together#and now it's just kind of a 'heh weird' thing#like nah i did not name myself in your honor. i named myself for him#anywayyyy#(also i find it kinda funny that i spent my whole life chafing at being compared to my dead sister. then i name myself for my dead brother.)#(not intentional just funny)
