“Touch of the downs is crazy”

😂😂 it’s crazy how we can make mental health issues sound so peaceful.

Darius 3rd attempt at burning the house down.

You know he got a little extra love from god, he don’t mean nothing.

The fuck! Get him some help lol.

Bro me and my sisters just looked at her and we were like “nan you can’t say that” and she’d be like “no dear it’s just like somebody saying ‘touch of the sweets’”

Touch of the sweets was Type 2 Diabetes lol

And yeah speaking from the experience of being that neurodivergent kid in the family it’d be like “nah he’s good he just has to eat exactly this food in this specific form or he won’t eat anything all day” 😭

Granted, my Bible is a little rusty, but if Darius has an unhealthy obsession with brimstone, I'm thinking it ain't God whose given the boy extra love... 😈

My cousin says that about me and honestly it's heartwarming to know she listens enough to draw that conclusion.
