i'll always be sad about it.
it's not something you just forget about.
it's all too common, but that doesn't make it lose meaning.
i may have been little, but it was still painful.
the second time was more painful.
i can't imagine what it was like for you though. or her. or them.
i don't let your life choices govern mine though.
at least i try not too
but
the unacknowledged fear will always be there like a lock on my heart.
a fear that nothing lasts forever.
a fear that i could choose wrong.
and i hate that.
"People are going to think that you're 'messed up' because our family isn't perfect."
cool.
they can think that i guess.
i'll tell you my story if you ask
but i wouldn't tell somebody who didn't care
you need to know me before you know my story
. . .
