Kenneth, you can’t diddle your cousin

Content Warning: Discusses sexual harassment and assault within a family, including an incident involving a minor. Reader discretion advised.

You smell disgusting. You smell of cheap liquor. And you dare to come to my room and ask me to sleep with you.

…in the house that your wife pays for.

…in the room that your daughter sleeps in.

…and talking to the girl whose mother is your aunt and you have the same grandfather.

I would mention your teenage son, but unfortunately, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Right before he went back to boarding school, he did the exact thing that you’re doing right now, except he was sober. He pinned me to the wall and insisted on kissing me just one. Just once. And my crime was that I was too beautiful for him to waste the chance. I wonder where he got that from.

Luckily for you, you’re not the first cousin that has tried to sleep with me. You are just one in a really long line. Your son, however, is the first nephew ever to try to give. So f*** you and the rest of the family.

Love yourself

Love yourself at least to the same degree that I love myself, because that is the only way you will not see my actions as selfish.

I want to be in the same room with you. I want to spend time with you.

I don’t want compromises. It breeds resentment.

Come as you are, and I come as I am, and we hang out, and we have fun, and we enjoy each other’s company.

But we shall never become one, because if we become one, both of us have lost the parts of ourselves that make us individuals, and I find that to be a terrifying thought. The idea of it makes me feel like centipedes are crawling beneath the first layer of my skin.


I would love to explore you. I will be me, you will be you, and we get to explore each other for as long as we have each other. Becoming one? How boring? What is left to explore after that?
