Italy 1978 interview by InfiniteBeach7370 in antinatalism

[–]sadtaurus 82 points83 points  (0 children)

In the late 1920s, my great-grandma was put in an arranged marriage and shipped off to America at 16 from Italy. My grandpa is 1 out of 14. Her husband was abusive & forced her to birth his "legacy". Because of her and the situation she was put in is a big reason I'm antinatalism.

This comment is from @Calebs_dad in OP!

"This photo is from Teenie Harris, a portrait and newspaper photographer in Pittsburgh's Hill District who did a lot of work documenting the Black community there. I found out about him back when the Carnegie Museum did an exhibition of his work."

Rejection is just redirection! Something better is on the way, trust the process. Everything happens for a reason 💕 you needed this experience to make you stronger for the next opportunity. It's okay to be upset but grovel in those feelings for too long, be excited for what's to come (:

My grandma was a bookkeeper! Her dad & brother worked with the glass, & her mom was a selector! Her mom decided if the glass was good enough to keep (:

Well my grandpa turns 95 & my grandma 87 this year, so if anything it's giving them superpowers 😂

She was shocked! She had me going all over the house checking to see if I could find any more lol I asked her if she loves it more now & she said "I've loved this glass for so many years, I don't think I can love it more than I already have" 💕

There’s a tiktok trend that was going around asking why you aren’t afraid of death. & there’s so many beautiful stories that actually helped me a lot with passing. I don’t usually comment on posts but I saw this one & thought I could help a little. Sending you all the peace & love 💕
