23 seems a little late for this kind of thing

Guest stories are always depressing

Dang, that's rough. I went to school with a kid who was adopted and he didn't find out until his 19th bday. His parents were Russian and before he found out he was adopted he would walk around gloating about being Russian and how much cooler he was than everyone else. A few months before his bday he got a huge hammer and sickle tattooed on his back and would walk around school with his shirt off, puffing out his chest...it was sad and hilarious. Anyway, on his 19th bday his parents thought it was time to tell him the truth and it crushed the little d-bag

Wow, how socially awkward?
