Remind me to tell you about Bucky and the Sbarros, sometime.
Feelings were just - They were never something that I prioritised. Probably a masculinity thing to a degree, sure, but I also think that growing up in the time and place I did was hard. Kids died a lot more often, people were starving during the depression - then the war happened and everyone died and there was never a way to deal with that. Because people just aren't built to withstand that kind of horror and loss and come put unscathed.
Call it survivor's guilt maybe. But I've always struggled with finding a way to access or think about what I feel under the weight of all that. Almost like I lost the luxury of introspection in a burned-out primary school in Villers-Bocage.
