You know what I hate? Those kids who have that unnecessary fear of the needles. They're scared cause needles are pointy. Cause they're sharp. Cause they're afraid that one tiny pinch in their arm will kill them. And the only reason they have this fear is because they think that this Poke of Doom or whatever is the equivalent of a stab wound, when it really isn't.

I mean, I'm afraid of needles, but I have a reason. For the first six years of my life, I freaking lived in the hospital. I knew the doctors and nurses. I knew where to find the comfier chairs while waiting around. I got away with not wearing a gown. But I also had to get a needle in the arm every day, whether it was for blood tests or whatever.

I was only six.

So for all those sixteen-year-olds who just don't want a needle in the arm cause they have irrational fears of needles, fuck you. I've had more needles in the arm, and I'm still scared.

You shouldn't be.
