In this picture is my dogs Batman and Leena. Leena is the smaller dog whom my mom and I owned since 2010 and Batman is the black dog who was wagging his tail while I took photos on them both.
For years, even though I cared about Batman and Leena, there have been times when I showed apathy towards them, especially Leena. Maybe it's just me, but I felt apathetic towards myself too due to living a complicated family life. We were all children but the choices my siblings and I made made it difficult for us to live normal lives. I don't know if it was because we were of the lower class living in Chicago. All I know is that I've been feeling apathy towards myself for a long time.
In the end, in my own way, I adore Batman and Leena. I would like to learn to love both myself and others again. In truth, I'm slightly broken but not enough to not get better.
Batman and Leena, thank you for being there for me, even though you're not the only ones who care for me. Perhaps it's because something or someone has been missing in my life. Perhaps it's more than one person missing in my life. Who knows?
