“There’s a certain amount of

wish fulfillment in writing.

When I’m feeling unlovable,

I can take that one of two ways:

I can either write myself a world where I am

infinitely lovable and infinitely loved

and so, feel a little less alone in the world I’m

living in: the one where I am neither

as lovable or as unlovable as I pretend to be.

Or

I can write myself a place where I am just as disgusting,

unwanted, and unworthy as I think I am.

And with this, there’s something even more satisfying

because then I can pretend

to be right.”
