i’m going to kill myslef honey fuckibg shit why tf did this happen.

so i’m a life guard and yesterday i saw this old ass dude like 80 or so swimming breaststroke and his form was all messed up, he was making it way harder on himself etc. as a former swim instructor for kids i thought, “why don’t i help this guy, old men aren’t that dangerous right?” (knowing full well the potential of men.) like a fucking dumbass i spent a half hour explaining that to him and then told him what days i work. he showed up today and first thing he does is hug me and kiss my head, which in my culture is normal for older people to do so i didn’t think much of it. then he goes in for another hug, asks for my facebook in his broken german accent, and makes remarks about my features (im obviously jewish). he asks where i am from and i say israel, bc thats where i was raised for half my life, and a majority of what caused all my trauma (witnessing bombings, terrors, family members dying at a younger age then me, losing friends, homes, schools, losing everything) and he goes “oh!!! so you jew?” with a big smile his mouth wide open and i’m about to throw up bc i realize i was right. i’m always fucking right. he starts talking abt his jewish daughter and i thought maybe i had been saved, he has a daughter older than me surely he can’t think of me in that way! but no. just as im about to breathe out finally and convince myself i was being dumb he makes a pass at my tits and grabs my arm forcefully, gazing into my eyes and letting the mask finally drop. i can see what he’s wanted since the begining and i can see what he is and im disgusted and terrified an i fucking hate myself. i hate me for being this fucking stupid. his voice rings in my head alongside all the others and maybe if i wasn’t this retarded it wouldn’t have happened so many times.
