"deal," i said. again. in a different kitchen. a different century.

apparently i have made this exact choice more times than i can count and i STILL don't learn

my dog didn't bark

she never barks when it's her

i think about this sentence more than i think about my own safety, honestly

normal people lose a necklace and it's gone

i lost mine and it just showed up on my dresser again, twenty years later, like it never left

anyway here's my new book.

i climbed out a window in the middle of the night to get away from my own mother

i didn't know i'd still be running from her twenty years later

If You Know You Know

#iykyk #dark fantasy #dark feminine energy #dark academia #greightful

being haunted by your mother is complicated because some part of you still wants her to be proud of you.

#secrets from the vault #dark feminine energy #dark academia #dark fantasy #greightful

the past is not always a place.

sometimes it is a perfume in a hallway. a song you cannot turn off. a familiar piece of jewelry on a dresser where it does not belong.

she thought she had escaped with her life.

which was true.

she just didn’t realize some lives are threaded together long after you cut the cord.

Some mothers leave you recipes.

Some leave you old photographs.

Some leave you with a voice in the back of your mind that sounds like love until you realize it has been telling you to be afraid of yourself.

the horror is not that the house is haunted.

the horror is that the house is quiet. the doors are locked. the dog is sleeping.

and something still got in.

she thought leaving was the hard part.

it wasn't.

the hard part was twenty years later when the document opened and she realized leaving had never been the whole story.

the thing about writing a villain who genuinely loved the person she hurt:

you can't just condemn her. you can't just forgive her. you have to hold both.

that holding is the whole book.
