The challenge word this week is Mirror and for me, the one spoken of is Dean.
Sometimes he makes me so angry. I want to hold a mirror up to him, have him see what I see, believe in himself as I do.
But I don't because what the fuck would be the point?
His whole life has conspired to prevent him recognizing that he is of any significant worth so why would anything I have to say make any difference to that now?
So I do the only thing I can.
I love him. Try to keep him safe. Patch him up when he bleeds and hold him when he cries out in his sleep.
Thanks for reading, sorry it's a bit dour.
