I've been working as a substance abuse counselor for... well, a little under a decade? And it's just sort of hit me how immune I am to things. I was talking to this hot guy with a really gay name today, and telling him about this girl I had who DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT even though she was like 6 months along and HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT? And he got all concerned for the girl and asked about prenatal care and the effects of drugs on a fetus. And like, I do understand that, but it makes me scared that my first reaction is no longer concern, it's finding the absurd in the situation. I feel a little bad, now.
