One thing that I've always had is a really good memory, which, given my history, can be a good thing, or a really, really bad thing... and sometimes I just randomly remember weird shit about my childhood that, in comparison to all of other shit that was going on, wasn't really traumatic, but just a result of the shitty circumstances, if that makes even a lick of sense.
Like how I used to sometimes go into an adult family member's room and look through her bedside drawer for food because I knew that that was where she kept snacks, because I was super young and didn't know how to cook yet, and all the food I could find in the kitchen that didn't need to be cooked was stale soda crackers, some stale, bland cereal, packs of instant noodles, a block of moldy cheese in the fridge (mold aside, I've always hated cheese), a whole drawer of moldy bread, and a huge bottle of white wine (I even remember the brand of wine this family member used to drink – ugh). In hindsight, I saw/smelled moldy bread so often that I, to this day, refuse to even open a pack of bread two days before its "best before" date because the sight/smell (while objectively unpleasant, for sure) makes me cry... so I mean, I *guess* I could say that it's a trigger in a way, but it has never really caused a flashback (which is VERY easily identifiable after my brain has somewhat calmed down again) as far as I know. For the longest time after moving out on my own, I practically NEVER bought bread because of this.
Sometimes there would also be some Coca-Cola in the laundry room in the basement, which made me feel like I'd hit the lottery, but I also just generally tried to avoid being in the basement whenever possible if I knew that there were certain people down there.
I wouldn't eat all of the snacks that I found in that bedside drawer so as to not blow my cover, but just enough to kind of take the edge off, because I was usually hungry as fuck by the time I got to the point of wanting to rifle through the drawer in the first place.
I remember how one day in particular, I found a half-eaten can of crushed, stale salt and vinegar Pringles in the bedside table and, after eating a couple of tiny handfuls of the crushed chips, I went into the backyard to see if I could maybe make myself some food from the plants outside. I took some leaves from one of the bushes, some dandelions, climbed a tree to reach over the fence for some flowers from the neighbour's backyard, plus some long blades of grass, and sat behind the bushes and used a rock to kind of act as a plate to put the flowers and dandelions on these leaves I'd collected, then I rolled them up and secured them with a couple long blades of grass, and ate them like they were mini burritos. It didn't taste too good – not terrible, but not great, either – and I felt slightly queasy afterwards, but I figured that it would be good enough to fall back on if I was hungry and everything in the house had either gone bad or needed to be cooked, or if I was too nervous to go into the basement and check for pop, again, in case certain people were down there.
I just remember kinda weird, random shit like that where I think to myself, "Uh... not that I've ever really had a great reference point for 'normalcy', but I'm not so sure that eating flowers and weeds in the backyard because I was hungry and couldn't find edible food in the house is something that's considered normal." But again, I don't really have a reference point, so with things like this, I've always just kind of looked back on it and thought to myself, "Huh. Well, that was interesting, I guess."
