Thoroughly entertaining! <br /><br />I confiscated one a few days ago and unlike your teacher I got curious enough to rife through it. I'll tell you what happened next in a less public setting.<br /><br />I remember being very young like 10 or 11 and I had just squashed a mosquito in my mum's presence. I went "Look ma! A bloody mosquito" and I got beaten up. I stumbled into my first swear without even realizing it!Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037109717190281055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134070658020187379.post-52857822862031956852018-09-11T14:03:45.968+04:002018-09-11T14:03:45.968+04:00You have NO IDEA how much I can relate to this pos...You have NO IDEA how much I can relate to this post. From the not swearing, being friendless and picked on, the worst gaali I'd ever even thought of being 'gandi' to the secret book and first swear word I'd ever uttered also being 'bullshit' - this was my school life in one post.

I have been swearing for so long I have no idea when I actually started doing it haha.. I think it was a bigger deal to swear in Hindi than in English when I was growing up though, swearing in Hindi was the *gasp what did you just say gasp* moment, swearing in English was so passe because everyone did it!

I love your swearing story...@Laila, HAHAHAHA OH NO! I love your swearing story but I'm so sorry that you felt bad about it and not liberated :(. Thanks for your comment <3<br /><br />@Hanis, LMAOOOO THAT GAME WAS MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD. Even I used to struggle with E. But have you ever had 'U'? What animal can there possibly be except... urchin? ty for your comment <3<br /><br />@Hira, Hahaha I swear uni does that to a person. I too, found it easier to swear once I was around people who just naturally incorporated swearing into their vocab. Thank you so much for your comment <333<br /><br />@ds, Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot. I'm so happy that you like my writing style and my drawings. It motivates me to think of more stories from my life that I can convert to blog posts. I came across your profile through clicking the 'conspiracy theories' link on the Interests section in my own profile. I'm glad I did! :)<br /><br />@Martin, I don't think my swearing incited anyone else to start swearing. I don't really think I heard any of those people swear till 8th grade at least. Or maybe I'm just unobservant haha.<br />I'm going to try smiling even when I'm pissed and see if that helps uplift my mood. Thanks so much for your comment, it made me laugh!

That backstory was incredibly engag...Well, goddamn! That backstory was incredibly engaging, and the suspense had me fearing for the consequences that awaited younger Furree.<br />So did you open some sort of floodgates that resulted in other kids growing courageous enough to swear like it was nothing?<br /><br />Don't really recall my own origin story when it came to cursing, but, I did go through a period in my college days when I had decided to give up swearing completely. As you well know, that's no longer the case.<br /><br />I just remember my Psychology professor teaching us that the faces we make have a significant influence on our mood and behavior. If you force a smile when you have no particular reason to, you can trick your body and mind to sync and your conditioning leads you to being <i>happier</i>.<br /><br />Inversely, swearing reinforces negative emotions upon the user. Which leads to more stress, adrenaline and an overall decrease in mental and physical health. Of course, a couple of swear words a day won't be enough to give you a heart attack, but it definitely felt like reason enough to stop, smile more, and live a longer, healthier life.<br /><br />I did well enough, and maybe it was a placebo of sorts but I seem to recall feeling more at peace. Of course, even if I wasn't cursing aloud, the words still formed in my mind. Ultimately it felt too fake and phony to force my happiness and censor myself. I think you just have to be yourself.<br />But now I do find that cursing when I'm happy can still enhance my mood, so that's usually what I find myself doing automatically :)<br /><br />It's a damn good thing I never heard about those triangles when I was younger, though. I only had 'Smarts' unlocked, but even then I was too depressed to bother doing any homework or project assignments.<br />Martin Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207469327887460187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134070658020187379.post-5373673156757790092018-08-27T20:14:19.855+04:002018-08-27T20:14:19.855+04:00this is fucking amazing.

I'm glad you did and commented, because it's compelled me to read yours and i couldn't be more impressed.<br /><br />your illustrations are tickling me on the inside in that way maybe music does, or stand up comedy.<br /><br />don't stop writing.<br /><br />also, fuck yes for swears. i understand intimately that kind of upbringing and self-imposed standard. you're fucking beautiful.dvdsXrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275962535751893880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134070658020187379.post-6110666295789898442018-08-27T17:16:10.558+04:002018-08-27T17:16:10.558+04:00Hahhhahahahahhah!

Also, makes me so happy to see it had the same old pattern of doodles that are distinctive of your posts.<br /><br />I started openly swearing in medical school and well..what could I do? Medical school makes you do so. Now I swear like a sailor without a filter and I think it's the best thing. :D<br /><br />I believe more than any other thoughts involved in upbringing about right and wrong or sin and no sin, our cultural construct is so that it thinks swearing publicly is indecemi.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I wouldn't stop anyone from swearing and take the frustration out, it's therapeutic. :D<br /><br /><br />Please continue writing! I love you and your posts.Hirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147851564187848449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134070658020187379.post-53216960653128086322018-08-27T09:31:43.491+04:002018-08-27T09:31:43.491+04:00I know the Name Place Thing Animal game. Hahahaha....I know the Name Place Thing Animal game. Hahahaha. I always hated it when they choose E because my 11 year old self only know of England and Elephant.<br /><br />I don't remember the first time I cursed... but I think I was around 11. I remember my brother's first time cursing in front of mom. He got a mouthful of chillies 😂Hanis.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16236855718618295259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134070658020187379.post-19500380056282333532018-08-27T08:40:06.522+04:002018-08-27T08:40:06.522+04:00Oh my goodness... that was hilarious, I love playg...Oh my goodness... that was hilarious, I <i>love</i> playground drama. And it's funny how absurd this whole 'secret book club' thing is, but it's so ... typical... of that age group. <br /><br />Sorry, I also feel like I have to share my first swear word story. I remember my older sister was bullying me as usual, and we were at home alone after school so there was no mummy to cry to. I don't know how or why it came to me, but suddenly I yelled "STOP BEING A B***CH!" Unfortunately, there was no feeling of relief, no adoring gazes or applause. All I got was the evilly triumphant look from my sister, and realising I was in for it, I burst into tears. Yep. Such a wimp. Maybe the lack of satisfaction of this one moment is why I still struggle to swear today. Eh.Laila N Mysishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985962214981510056noreply@blogger.com
