Blood

You should've protected me better. You all should have. You should have all done better.

I should have been protected instead.

No one truly protects anyone else. We have to protect ourselves.

actually, hon, if you're talking about when you were very young, then you are goddamned right someone should have protected you. you deserved to be protected BECAUSE you couldn't protect yourself. i'm sorry you weren't kept safe. i know how it feels.

Thank you, J.
You have no idea how much your comment means to me, that was exactly what I was talking about. Thank you for the defense. You're kind. <3

hey, thank you back. it sucks to have one of your first, formative experiences with other human beings be one of pain and shame and confusion and betrayal. i think it's beautiful, though, that even the scarred and the damaged can sometimes fit like puzzle pieces, across all the distance. it's nice to be understood. take care of yourself please.
