These are all things that I know, but none of this is really important. I used to think it was vital to know things, to feel safe in the learning and recounting of facts. I used to think it was possible to know enough to escape from the panic of not know- ing, but I realise now that you can never learn enough to protect yourself, not really.
gorgeous written and hauntingly romantic
Graphic: Body horror and Grief
Moderate: Death and Death of parent
