I have a difficult relationship with my father, which I think is characteristic of many desi girls' relationships with male figures in their life. It's difficult not because it's always bad. It's difficult precisely because it is not always bad.
it’s always “i love her” and never “i worry, sometimes, that my love for her will expand beyond the limitations of my body, that it will one day kill me with its heft.”
never have i ever wanted to hold a man’s hand this bad before in my LIFE. like i just want to hold his hand and tell him how sexc he is to me and how downbad i am. will i? no. absolutely not.
I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!”
With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/
