About
E. L. Massey is a human. Probably. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her partner, the best dog in the world (an unbiased assessment), and a frankly excessive collection of books. She spends her holidays climbing mountains and writing fan fiction, occasionally at the same time.

“so, anika says most people skew one of two ways as kids. they’re either encouraged to do things themselves, or they have things done for them. the kids who are encouraged to be independent will try things and fail and grow, or they’re given too much freedom and end up feeling lost or abandoned. the kids who have things done for them are typically not as good at taking risks or dealing with the consequences of their actions once they’re adults. but they do feel more comfortable asking for help and are more likely to feel a sense of safety or confidence in a lack of judgment from their family.”

i want to say:
please don’t touch me if you don’t mean it
i’m scared the promises i’m hearing are just a poor translation
of what your hands are actually saying
but i’m too selfish or maybe too afraid
so i don’t
i want to say:
i love you
so i don’t
not because of the way you look at me
but because you might stop
because if i keep my love in my chest
and not in my mouth
then maybe it won’t hurt so badly
when it is taken away

“my therapist says your first response to something isn’t really your response. it’s society’s response—or the way you’ve been trained to respond from your environment? but your second response, after you’ve had a minute to think about, you know, how you really feel, that’s the one that matters.”
