What comes first is: Insanity
“Tell me what happened” is a prompt that acts as a buffer to gauge if, I am worth your time, if we have similarities, if my entire existence is enough to justify whether you see me as a “person enough”, or, rather, “human enough”. The question then becomes; is seeing humanity – my humanity – dependent on regurgitating facts about myself, traumas included, for you to fully see me?
