Trigger warning

I have triggers, fear and high pressure situations are my two main triggers. Classical piano music is also a trigger. I found that out in algebra one day. Also, the smell of freshly cut grass- I love it but I also loath it because of the family business of mowing lawns in the summer. This summer we have about 15 and I don't think I've ever loathed something so much...

I hate it when people say "triggered" and they don't realize what it really means.

A trigger isn't something that offends you or makes you midly upset, it's something that causes a reaction in the chemicals in your brain to create anxiety, bouts of depression, intense fear, PTSD memories- it's so much more than "ugh- this test makes me triggered." For some people- yes- it legitatmately can be a trigger. Or when someone jokes about cutting. A girl in my class has said multiple times, "I got the wrong kind of jeans, I'm gonna cut." It's not something to joke about. It's a real world thing and it isn't something you can joke about.

I know this isn't a poetry piece or one of my short stories but it's just something I had to say.
