I was today years old when I found out that Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley from Harry Potter were "diagonally" and "nocturnally." As a longtime fan, I feel incredibly stupid.

If a pregnant woman went swimming, she becomes a human submarine. If her bathing suit was yellow. The unborn baby would live in a yellow submarine.... cue the Beatles "we all live in a yellow submarine "

"You have to get over the past! You have to forgive and forget, and just move on!" - my toxic, abusive mother giving me a kind of sorry-not-sorry speech.

Newsflash: I don't "have to" do anything.
I don't have to forgive parental abuse on demand, that's not how it works.
I don't have to forget the violence, just to make you feel better.
I don't have to move on while you continue your toxic behavior towards me.
I don't have to get over the past, while you face no consequences for how horrible you treated me.

You want things to get better between us? Start by acknowledging the injustice, the humiliation, the violence, the bullying you put me through as a child - and change YOUR behavior.

I write myself in circles, going from giving the characters in my books awful trauma, to writing fanfiction for other peoples characters, trying to erase their trauma
