Much to Write, But No Time

I had such an upsetting, unbelievable and yet fairly calm (on my end, anyway) conversation with my brother that I really need to write about. I don't have time now, but I have to say, families dynamics can cause so much pain. It's amazing I fucking survived my family. I feel like I've been fighting for my life, for my right to breathe, to exist, to live my truth. And they think I'm annoying, a pain the ass, selfish. Fucking incredible.

family, shmamily!! fuck them! they've been fucking with your head since we were in third grade (and i know because i've watched it for ... um.. more years than i can count at 10:30 pm after a glass of wine! so there!). i've always subscribed to the idea that family is who you make it -- e's family treats you with respect, you have your friends, etc. it's difficult and painful at times to not have a traditional 'family', but your traditional 'family' goes beyond difficult and painful. jerks!!! lemme at 'em!!

*panting*
