“I used to envy people who could pick up a knife and not think to themselves what if I stabbed someone? I watched them cut their steaks so mindlessly, so unafraid. Fork in meat, cut, cut, cut. fork in mouth, repeat. Sometimes I got soup just because I didn’t need a little weapon to eat it. Eating shouldn’t be this hard, life shouldn’t be this hard, and don’t even get me started with scissors. All of these people cutting their steaks and doing their construction paper projects; I must be crazy, because nobody else has these thoughts these bloody thoughts these what if I killed my sister thoughts.”
