DIARY SESSION

KIKI'S JOURNAL

My parents make me so uncomfortable. I don't know how my own parents could terrify me so much even without doing anything to me.

Sometimes I would imagine I was in an alternate universe where I could shed this skin and put on my sister's.

It's crazy considering that we have the same skin. I just want to be loved and cherished by my parents the way she's loved and cherished.

I wished they treated me as her equal, I wish they loved me the same way they love her.

As I sat with them in the same living room and watched them talk to each other without including me, like I was invisible or I wasn't even in the room, I realized my wishes would never come true, not in a million years.
