Like, my dad pointed out how weak his kids were all. the. time.

But like......looking back on my childhood, we were tough kids. We worked hard. Like manual labor, 80-90 hour work weeks type of working hard. We didn’t go to school. We did farm work. I very rarely met another kid in my childhood without thinking, “this kid is a wimp.” I was unphased by sleeping in the woods, or on the floor, without blankets or pillows. Eating weird foraged food, doing housework the hard way because that was the only way allowed because the men in charge liked the aesthetic. I pretty much permanently had a baby on my hip for much of my childhood, I remember being good at washing dishes with one hand and holding a baby with the other. I butchered animals. I shoveled out barns. Sewed clothes. Carried five gallon buckets of water, 40 pound bags of chicken feed. Stacked and split firewood. Stacked hay. Processed food. Used hammers and chop saws and large farm machinery. Picked rocks. I could take a beating and not “mope,” just get back to work. Cooked easily hundreds of meals. Did fucking bootcamp exercises my dad found in a book. Fasted. I made and used knives, I used guns. Fixed the lawnmower. Built fires. Had a lot of untreated injuries or injuries I treated myself with like chewed up plantain leaves and stuff. Sat up a lot of nights with sick babies. And this is as a child. 9, 10, 12 years old.

He called me weak for getting cold in the winter. For asking for more food. For getting my period and throwing up. Those aren’t Weak Person Characteristics. Those are just person characteristics. It’s not lazy to rest, to sleep.

I was a tough kid. But I don’t feel tough, yknow? I still feel weak. And not just physically, but also in terms of endurance and how high maintenance I am. I feel like I’ve “gone soft,” but I feel like I kind of always was. But objectively I definitely wasn’t. I survived some intense and demanding stuff, without batting an eye. I was tough. I am tough.
