"The truth of it is, no one prepares you for a younger sibling. You are born into a dysfunctional family, and you wish this on no one else, but someone else comes along, and you love them fiercely, and you try to protect them at all cost. But your brother is soft corners where you are hard angles, and communication is not as simple as you hoped. You learn sign language for him, because it’s quiet. Because it’s easier for him. Because you would do anything — anything — to lessen the burden that life has deposited on your brother’s shoulder. And at night you lift the corner of your blanket and he comes crawling in, in, protected from the world because you are here and you can protect him here. It is the only place you can protect him. Sometimes you look at him as he sleeps and think, how can I protect you forever and live my life at the same time?" DAMN WHY THIS HURTS SO BAD OUCH
