“Adult stuff” and “you’ll understand when you’re older” for me were mostly blank stand-ins for “this is how it is”. Mostly connected to questions too tiresome to be answered properly at the time, questions on the nature of culture etc.
Thankfully, morality questions never got such answers when I was raised xD






“Something not expensive from the heart”.
Flusters folk a lot. I frankly don’t care if you give me a broken padlock or a dingalong found in a forgotten pawnshop as long as it does tie into, well, me. Intention is what matters to me more than the item.
