The Sisters, 1928
“To me the important thing is not to offer any specific hope of betterment but, by offering an imagined but persuasive alternative reality, to dislodge my mind, and so the reader’s mind, from the lazy, timorous habit of thinking that the way we live now is the only way people can live. It is that inertia that allows the institutions of injustice to continue unquestioned.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin, A War Without End
i spent the night with my cousin, we grew up together and we dont see each other that much anymore so we updated each other on our lives etc. and im realizing howwwww…. toxic ive been in the past. and it’s definitely not pleasant but it really motivates me to be nicer. and it mostly was a reflection of how i was treating myself and how ive been treated. it’s unecessary to just rethink on how wrong were some things i did but i desperately needed to change. im just realizing how badly some people treated me and how, as the eldest daughter of emotionally incompetent parents, i was raising myself. out of the void. i was an adult child and i was angry. which is normal but it doesnt excuse what i did. i dont think i can fathom how little attention i had as a kid tbh
