shauna shipman is redefining the toxic girlbestieship game. “codependent” cannot even begin to describe shaunajackie. we’re starting off on the wrong foot by implying they’re even distinct enough to use that label. are you codependent with your stomach? your liver? death separated them permanently - jackie frozen eternally young and impossibly perfect - but in doing so, eroded all the other boundaries between them: emotional, mental, physical. you’re with her boyfriend. you’re playing sleepover games with her corpse. eventually you’ll bury yourself in the life she might’ve had, in the way you’ll never bury her. you can’t. she’s in your head. she’s in your mouth. and once you digest her, she’ll be in your baby too.
