Heâs mad at me for not opening up about my feelings. My happiness, anger, love, likes, dislikes, vulnerabilities.
If only he knew what I was shielding him from: my sexual abuse, my self harm, my starvation, binge eating, weight gain and loss and gain and loss, and again my gain. the way I still get tempted to stuff my mouth with everything bad for me and chew and chew and chew until my cheeks burn raw and I proceed to spit up chunks onto napkins.
but most importantly the very scary thought that I donât want him. That I imagine myself going back in time, time and time again and re-aligning the stars so that we wouldnât have met. So that I wouldnât burden him with my emotionally checked out self. So that he could have a chance at true love.
