Things can occur to you at weird times too. I'm 62 years old and about an hour ago I had a huge panic attack that hit me out of the blue. I suddenly realized that I'm terrified of obese people. Intellectually I don't feel any prejudice, I don't think obese people are bad people or lazy. I couldn't figure it out. Then a childhood memory slammed into me. We had a neighbor family that lived 2 houses away. The entire family was obese and they bullied me horribly. They would throw me down and sit on me. spray me with a water hose when I walked by their house. Call me a skinny beotch. I was skinny but so what?
Anyway, why it took me 62 years to remember this I have no clue.

It was buried deep inside. Took that trigger to pull it up to surface. I hate when that happens. Makes you wonder how much more is buried that needs to be dealt with, and do we have time on this Earth to make peace with them all. I'm 58 so I can relate.
