You Don't Know My Trauma. Let Me Explain.
This post contains lethal doses of sarcasm if read irresponsibly
According to liberal Twitter, all human behavior can essentially be broken down into two categories: Privileges and Traumas. Privileges are bad and Traumas are good, which means you will want to divest yourself from Privileges and acquire Traumas.
However, I have a lot of Trauma from being so Privileged.
I go to film school and it’s very difficult being around women of color who have scholarships and make films inspired by their intergenerational trauma of fleeing the Khmer Rouge or taking part in the Black Civil Rights revolution. My childhood was kind of boring since my father was never home due to being a partner at BlackRock, so I really struggle with not having powerful experiences to shape my art.
Also, whenever I see an infant in public, I ask them to please stop trauma dumping.
