I get the same text message every day.

“I’m here if you need me,” followed by three moon-phase emojis and a koala face.

Every day I text back, “Thanks, Jac.”

I have a picture taped to my mirror of two-year-old me holding Jac for the first time. I remember thinking of her as my little doll to dress up and play house with.

Until she grew up and became the exact opposite of a little doll.

Sometimes I worry she’ll end up like me, carrying something dark and forceful inside. Something that pulls other people down if they stand too close.

I don’t know why she still tries, even after all the things I’ve said when I was too sad or tired or numb to be nice. Eventually she’ll see that I’m not worth her koala emojis. And then she won’t be there anymore.
