scout21.bsky.social @scout21.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Strangely enough, I was terrified of “I Want to Live.” I saw it as a 6- or 7-year old and somehow convinced myself that my mother was going to be executed for a murder she didn’t commit. For weeks I waited for the police to come. Weird child… 120
