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.
