Puck-Sexton

when i was ten years old my teacher asked the class, "if you were god, what would you change?" and i remember biting my lip so hard that it bled. carefully, i wrote about how i would teach kids from an early age on how to love yourself and no one else and that there is no such thing as an almighty power that will pity you and answer your desperate prayers at three a.m. because you're the only one who has that kind of control. when i handed it in she just looked at me like i was the monsters under her child's bed. the next day i was sitting in her office wondering why it was so wrong to talk about what's in your heart at a catholic school
