why the fuck does my father get to have a life of his own. When I cut him out my life he should have stayed exactly where he was until I was ready to forgive him. He spent my whole life trapped in his trauma he should have stayed there begging for me to talk to him again until the end of time. I will always bear the damage he did to me, he doesn't get freedom from that, he shouldn't get love when it took everything for me to deny him it. Why was she enough for him to change- why wasn't I.

"Anna Swan, later known as Anna Bates after her marriage to Martin Van Buren Bates, was born on August 6, 1846, in Nova Scotia, Canada. She was born into a family of average height, but she began to rapidly grow at an early age. By the time she reached her teenage years, Anna stood at an astounding height of 7 feet 11 inches (2.41 meters).
Anna's height garnered a great deal of attention, and she soon became a popular spectacle in circuses and sideshows. Despite the challenges her height presented, Anna embraced her uniqueness and had a cheerful and outgoing personality. In 1871, she met and married Martin Van Buren Bates, who himself was an extraordinary figure at 7 feet 9 inches (2.36 meters) tall.
Together, Anna and Martin embarked on a journey across the globe, showcasing their unparalleled height difference and captivating audiences wherever they went. They toured extensively with various circuses and sideshows, including the famous P.T. Barnum's circus. Their height made them celebrities of their time, and they were even received by royalty, including Queen Victoria.
Despite their stature, the couple lived a relatively normal life outside of their public appearances. They owned a farm in Seville, Ohio, where they raised livestock. Anna and Martin also had two children, both of whom were of average height.
Anna Swan Bates passed away on August 5, 1888, at the age of 41 due to heart failure. Martin Van Buren Bates lived for another 30 years, passing away in 1919 at the age of 67. Their remarkable story continues to fascinate people, as they were truly larger than life figures who left an indelible mark on history."
"I had an epiphany a few years ago where I was out at a celebrity party and it suddenly dawned on me that I had yet to meet a celebrity who is as smart and interesting as any of my friends." — Moby
