perfectly imperfect

It’s just… It’s been a bad day, I guess.

You sure, Mai? I don’t want to force you to tell me, but I know that you’re not okay.

But here’s the thing, my mom already knows what I look like, but she doesn’t know what you all look like.

Okay fine, one picture. 

I’m not bad, I’m terrible.

Oh, hush Gem. You should totally help, I could even teach you!

Oh, no, no don’t apologize! You all are welcome in there whenever you want. That was really nice of you, to take them in there. I’m sure they loved doing it, and one of them is apparently very good at it. 

It’s no problem, it’s nice to have them do something when I don’t have a kid to mentor. They totally do, they love it a lot and adores you for buying all the items. 

Whoever keeps sneaking in to do these mysterious paintings when I’m not there it actually really talented. I’m super impressed. Was it you?

Oh, sorry. I took the kids in there and painted with them. Though, that one isn’t mine. 

I know you’ve been crying.. your eyes wouldn’t be that red if it was allergies. What’s wrong? 

Hey no, that’s not how this works.

Please, Ray? 

Where did you get it?

Well, it’s been with me since I was a baby and I just want you to have it. Something that you could pass down maybe. 

Ants are nasty creatures. 

I couldn’t agree with you more. 

I’m alright. I like building, it’s fun. 

It is very fun, I like building legos. 

My seizures are just something I have to deal with, as long as I take my medicine everyday, I won’t die. You have nothing to be afraid of okay? Mhm it will, I know it will.

I feel bad that you have seizures.. I wish I could take it away from you. Okay, I trust you. And I don’t trust people easily. I love you, Carson. You’re the most important person in my life. 

C’mon just smile. My mom sent me this camera, I might as well use it.

How about I take one of you?
