“The moon is so beautiful and bright,” thought the sun. “He lights up the earth in the darkness.”
“I am so hot, so Intense—nothing can come near me or it dies. What is wrong with me?” whispered the sun.
————
The moon looked towards the sun, “She is so beautiful and warm. She gives life to the earth and makes me shine.”
“I am so cold and dark without her. How wonderful it must be to be the sun.” the moon beamed.

Sometimes something just hurts because it is happening. A moment can hurt without it being a wound. An emotion can move without needing a history.
Healthy families do not suddenly become perfectly self-aware. The difference is that slowly, almost without anyone announcing it, the system becomes a little less organized around not upsetting itself.
Blame organizes pain quickly. It gives clarity where there was confusion. It offers a villain when the story feels messy. But it also flattens humanity.
Because you matter. You are important. You are worth it.
