fast-paced

Very disappointing! Retelling your childhood CAN be done without racial slurs, homophobic connotations, glorified substance abuse, etc.
Read through to the end to give it a chance to turn around but that never happened.

Funny, he was an absolute handful of a child. Would rather he didn’t use the r slur. Funny, wish he’d gone over his recovery more it felt like he kinda just jumped into being better.
