Nothing like hearing a parent refer to your family as “[their] boys” when…you’re not a boy…nor have you never identified as a boy…and have been quite obviously ostracised by your brothers…
I mean, I’ve kinda known this since I was about sixteen, I don’t belong anywhere with anyone and I never have, black sheep etc etc, and the sooner I just get over that, the sooner this sort of thing just won’t mean anything or have any power to hurt anymore. It’s really all on me, when I think about it.
I promise I’ll start working on it tomorrow. Not today. I’m tired today. I’m tired every day, all the time.
