Day 2: How to talk to your monster


You don’t need to talk to me differently. No matter what, I will still be there, if you accept me. We are opposites and yet the same, in a way. They took you from me and somehow blamed me for it. So I had no other choice. I cursed myself and accepted it. Made most of it and even enjoyed it.


I love being a monster.
I love being feared.
