slice of life is a surprisingly dangerous genre cause you might accidentally stumble upon a kid version of yourself who gets to be ok, a concept that with beat you to death with its bare hands

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

characters who intentionally distance themselves from giving anything other than shallow, distant kindness to the people around them because to close the gap between them and someone they might actually be capable of loving leaves them terrified that everything else that lies dormant within their heart, all that fear and grief and anger and guilt they tamp down, will come flooding out all at once and drown them both.

if I cut myself open and allow this love to bleed, what else spills out with it? what if this desire to know you, to care for you, to be known and cared for in turn that I shoved down into a darkened corner of myself, is so deeply entangled in the ugliness I shoved down alongside it, never to be examined, as to be inextricable?

what if I hurt you?

what if I hurt the both of us? as of now, my heart may be nothing more than a trap set to snap shut on your vulnerable hands

no matter how much I wish to hold them gently instead.
