Dear Cousins,
The truth is, I'm pretty scared shitless.
But probably not for the reasons you'd think.
The truth is, I don't want anyone else to go through what I've gone through.
The truth is, I don't know how else to bridge this small gap of holding it all in and being completely open to the world.
The truth is, I don't want to hurt anyone with my truths.
The truth is, I'm scared that I have to.
I'm sorry I am not brave enough to face you, face to face.
But please know that I am here, I'm willing to talk and answer questions.
I'm willing to be your Ate.
~Ate C
