#kats stuff

When we’re together, we always talk about Family Stuff (AKA trauma), and sometimes we bake together, and she listens to the same music artists that she used to, and just...

I used to think I was so much like her, as a kid. She’s the one who ‘taught’ me most of my hobbies. Being twins and being pretty quiet and bookish, and each other’s only sibling for a while, we were generally lumped together.

But we react to things so differently. She’s always been “aloof” (my words), and I’ve always been... more emotional? Curious about people? IDK. I talked to my therapist about it and she brought up sensorimotor strategies.

On some level, she (my sister) does care about me. And she asks how I’m doing, and whatever. But I still don’t know what to do with that. (Different trauma reactions, different love languages, different interpersonal boundaries, etc etc)

My sister, she bakes with weird grains. And she’s graduating from college soon, and does internships, and doesn’t think she went through anything too bad,
