Dear father,
claiming I'm wrong 90% of the time isn't really going to make me want to talk to you, especially because I only speak when what I'm saying is backed up by facts; breaking into my bedroom and randomly talking to me isn't going to help either, because you know I'm an introvert and that if my door is closed, it means I don't want to see anyone; if I tell you I want you to leave, it means I'm uncomfortable doing what I love in front of you, because you've judged me negatively too many times in the past; you said you haven't heard me singing for months... maybe it's because you know nothing about music but you still have the guts to tell me what I should do to do better?
Dear mother,
laughing at my anxiety because you're scared of it hurts.
Dear parents,
have you ever thought that these behaviours might be what makes me want to go away so badly?
MONACHOPSIS
the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place, as maladapted to your surroundings as a seal on a beach—lumbering, clumsy, easily distracted, huddled in the company of other misfits, unable to recognize the ambient roar of your intended habitat, in which you’d be fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.
