manual

posted on: 9.22.2018

is there some kind of manual that exists to help you navigate the awkwardness of a family you were never really a part of ? the kind you were born into but don't know?

who keeps pretending

that nothing happened

that nothing changed

that it hasn't been 5 years

that you're not different

that everything is 'normal' ?

infuriating.

it's uneasy having total strangers find their way to your inbox. who are you? why are you contacting me? I don't know you. I don't want to know you.

happy thanksgiving from my resentful heart to yours. enjoy your damn pie.
