My little cousin wants to be just like me I don’t want her following in those footsteps I don’t want her to be the girl who self harms who’s suicidal who tries to make herself throw up who feels like a burden asking for help who’s scared of her mom who hides her pain who wants to be normal but can’t be I don’t want her to be like that bc I don’t want her going through that pain (there’s still more I do t want her to be like) so I never show her those parts of myself
