Run Away

Somebody commented this on my last video
They were like
I feel like people need to be more real about how childhood trauma plays a role in your current relationships
And that's a hundred percent fucking true
Mhm
The person that commented also said like
Unless you guys had perfect childhoods, that
Trauma is going to come up no matter what

That's actually crazy, you know
Cus for me, as a guy who grew up in Nigeria
Um, we don't talk about like
Trauma and um, shit like this
So like, I thought, growing up, in my entire teenage years
That I was fine, right? Cus I came from a very rich family, so I thought I was good
But then, the moment I hit 20, is like
Everything changed
All of a sudden, I started having flashbacks about like
Random shit that happened to me as a child
Stuff would smell different, and would remind me of shit that happened to my mum cus
She would smell a certain way when she got beat up by my dad
Um, yeah, it's just fucked
I thought i was fine, I thought I was mentally set
But apparently not
I felt like I was given a situation where I was...
Trying to work through this thing
And my defence mechanism is to walk away from anything that like brought that situation up
And I was given like, do you wanna grow with this person and finally move past this
And work through this
Or do you wanna do what you've always been doing and just run away
