Getting old or Getting grown
Anthony Markland
I write about Fatherhood, healing and building relationships, and the everyday wonder & struggle of living your best life.
I make it a point to watch what my kids watch. I understand the power of influence especially on young minds.
They watch a-lot of anime.
A-lot of the anime has great lessons in resilience, friendship and loving relationships.
My all-time favorite is NINJA SCROLL. I remember more action than sex, but the necessary amount of violence based on Ninja culture.
When I started watching what my children watch, all I saw was Big Tits, Ass, Camel Toes, Sculpted chests, Abs, Bulging Crotches, & boys who look like girls.
I don't remember seeing extreme sex, drugs, and violence everywhere in cartoons, when I was a kid except for movies with humans.
Remember Basic Instinct!!!!!!!! The Terminator, Porgies, Weird Science. American Psycho.
Cool World & Who Framed Roger Rabbit! (If men stopped paying attention to those type of women, they wouldn't suffer so many losses.)
Those movies are what remained in my memory rolodex for innocent sex motivation, until I became a parent.
Now as I'm watching my kid's anime(d) TCA (Tits, Crotch, & Ass) being thrown around like orgies are daily child's-play, I wonder how much influence it's having on childhood mental fuckery.
We used to have playboy and hustler, which were hidden and restricted. Now all you have to do is turn on the TV, visit a website, lie about your age, and WAP, all in your face. Dreamy, steamy, influencing scheming, pulsating crotches from adolescent entertainment.
I'm an 80's baby but I remember Fritz the Cat, Heavy Metal & Heavy Traffic.
Every generation has a new repeat of influential Sex, Love & Drugs. But nobody should be drugged to live obscene, especially children.

As an adult, I understand the role of sex, love, drugs, and their utility and relation to violence. I also understand these are nothing to play with or take lighthearted around children. It shapes and molds them to believe everything harmful is somehow ok.
Now that I'm a parent, I understand how it shaped my own parents, and the people who helped raise me. Battered, used, abused, sexually frustrated and misled, so conversations about good healthy decisions were forced, one-sided, and angry.
Sex becomes our drug. Dugs become what we love until we learn to love ourselves.
Healing requires violent change because you have to fight against temptations that keep you addicted to ruin.
I must be getting old because I'm adjusting the truth. Like my parents and elders who conveniently forgot all the wild shit they used to watch, say, listen to & do. I haven't fully adapted to that mindset yet tho.

I keep my understanding wise and truthful, with a sprinkle of old man youth. Like the old-school rap, Soul music and R&B they're getting hip to.
My family knows I'm here for them. We are all here because of my decisions. They had to live with mine. Now I live to help, influence, and encourage them to make thoughtful, good, useful decisions so they can live happily with theirs.
Old, Grown, Good Rule;
if you have to keep telling yourself you will stop or change something later or tomorrow-you are addicted.
To all the Father's wonder "HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THIS"
My advice is Just Don't Pull Out.
