Serious question. My language has always been colourful, only compounded by the fact my husband is a motocrosser so I spend most weekends surrounded by men AND for the past 9 years I’ve worked for/with the Army, meaning my weekdays are surrounded by men also. So I have lost any filter I may have had before.
What I’ve found more recently, as my MS has progressed more and more and I have less and less ability to do things, is that I swear A LOT!! Probably means this may not be the place for all but it’s the honest reality of my life. Multiple times a day, hell multiple times a hour, it’s “fuck this” “fucks sake” “fuck you” all directed at my legs or body while attempting some mundane task that “normal people” don’t even think about… like making a drink, or moving from one side of the room to the other. I admittedly punctuate the “F” with “C” occasionally too (ooh naughty!!), usually when I stack it and end up on the floor 🙄 I could just give up and wheel around in my wheelchair but why the fuck should I? Stubbornness, bloody-mindedness, bull-headedness 🤷🏻♀️ a combination of all the above prevents me from accepting my fate. Even tho I live in a bloody 2 story house (currently up for sale so can move to a pissing bungalow like a little old lady at the ripe old age of 41!) so I’ll just use extreme profanity like daily therapy and try not to let it spill over into public life where there are actual people to offend and not just my dog… not that I give two shits really, it’s my life 🤣
