i received an email today that contained a miniature family tree. it showed all of my immediate family and 1st cousins along with contact info and birthdays. when did everyone growup? nearly all of my cousins appear to have offspring that i was unaware of. They all have names and stuff even. almost as if they are real? but are they? i have never seen them. they have never spoken to me, spit up on me, thrown things at me, smiled at me. so far as i can tell, they are just fabrications, information told person to person in order to construct someones reality and define their space. but are they really there?

For now i will assume that the branches described are real, but i will require proof eventually. no one in my family will be collecting money and or benefits from falsified paperwork showing they have children.
Eventually, the branches of said tree will be all over the place and my branch will just be by itself. no offshoots. eventually falling off and allowing for a hollow space that kids can hide objects, like in “to kill a mockingbird”.

if anything written above actually makes sense, consider yourself acclimated to the world inside my head. so far, i am still confused though, so please save me some fresh rain water when the clouds break open. i would like to drink of it’s goodness.
