The sky is clear, the path is smooth, the bills are up to date, your relationships are going, let’s say decently. Then sometimes life decides to hit you like a shit ton of bricks. Maybe it was that wedgie that Kevin Smart gave you in front of PE class in second grade, or the real reason your dearest friend no longer speaks to you.

Today on Oh Shit! I Just Remembered I Have Trauma, host Adrianne Frost and storytellers Kambri Crews and Tracey Starin takes some serious and not so serious looks at coming through and kinda staying stuck in those memories that break on through when you least expect it.

Oh, and fuck you, Kevin.
