I repressed a terrifying childhood memory that I just remembered today.

I was jabbing things into my belly button for a few hours because... I don't know why. I think it felt good or something.

I dug out some unexpected deep belly button lint.

I didn't know what it was. I stared at it for a few seconds, and then started screaming because I convinced myself that I pulled out an abdominal organ. I was kind of young to know anatomy real well, but I knew there was a liver, stomach, kidneys. I was sure it was one of those, and that I would be dead in a few days.

My parents could not convince me otherwise.

Forgot about it. Until just now.

Now I'm anxious about what else I may have done as a kid.
