writing steve & maya at the same time is so funny & such a juxtaposition bc both have some intense abandonment issues but the difference is -
steve: everyone wants to leave me because i suck & am horrible & hard to love & there’s something in me that everyone sees that makes them leave & it’s all my fault
vs
maya: everyone leaves because they suck & are horrible & can’t be trusted & can’t handle baggage & don’t deserve me & it’s all their fault
