What hurts us is cumulative. It happens over time. We absorb blow after blow, shock after shock, painful hit after hit. But even then, even if we know exactly how we got here, it doesn't mean we can fix it. You can't heal every wound, and that's okay. I have to believe it's okay. I have to believe that even if something seems like it cannot be fixed, it doesn't mean it's broken.

Back again. I just needed somewhere to express how proud I am. So much has changed and there’s no pretty way to say it. One part of growing together that no one ever mentions is that you also grow within yourselves. You grow apart and you come together and with that comes having to learn to keep loving each other despite who you’ve both grown to be. But regardless of where we are in life and however many inadequacies I have, or misgivings we hold, it will never change how proud I am of you, how much I support you, and more importantly how much I love you. In a time where everything is variable, you are my constant and I thank you for that. Almost two years ago, I said it: you’ll do great things, and I’m grateful that I can experience it with you.

I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.

There’s a big difference between: who we love, who we settle for and who we’re meant for.

I’ve been saving this for our 2 year anniversary, but I really wanted to post this somewhere, 🙈. Plus yesterday was our 23 months and that’s reason enough.

I haven’t written in a while. Truthfully, it’s not that I haven’t felt the need to-- it’s just...it’s so easy to get sucked into the fast paced lifestyle of planning each minute meticulously, having no time for unscheduled breaths. But once in a while I’m struck with this feeling. A pull to look upwards. To close my eyes and cherish all that I have and all that I will have. It’s easy to forget to thank God for what you’ve been given, to take living for granted. But when you finally slow down and remember why it is you’re doing exactly what you’re doing and who it is that makes living worth while; It’s probably one of the most peaceful things you’ll ever encounter. So to my friends, to my family, to my love, and above all, to God: thank you.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be… and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.
