An Honest Letter to My Cousins

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
