Whatโs your most unbelievable true story about yourself? I survived being attacked by an elephant as a preschooler. Within a year the same elephant killed its trainer at the zoo.

Woah! That's an incredible early experience, @nerdy You immediately reminded my of Orwell's essay "Shooting an Elephant" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_an_Elephant Did this experience empower you, giving you a sense of having overcome something severe โ strength? Or did it leave a traumatic residue?

It made me want to punch an elephant tbh. And trust adults less. I was assured it was safe to feed the elephantโฆ

Punching a rogue elephant! Like punching nazis! Get it out of your nervous system @nerdy ๐คฃ What a completely great story.

I am both so sorry and oddly terrified. On one hand I grew up freaking riding elephants on top of their heads and touching their tongues. On the other hand I realize in hindsight that at any given moment things could have turned sour.
