One year ago today, I attended the GLAAD Awards in San Francisco, where I had the honor of witnessing Miss Dianna Agron host her first awards ceremony. I remember getting all dressed up, making sure every detail was perfect. I remember how excited and nervous I was all the way there. I remember waiting in anticipation to catch my first glimpse of The Lady of the night. I remember seeing her for the first time, and I have never seen someone quite so beautiful. I remember the sheer overwhelming feelings of her walking three feet away from me. I remember sitting in the audience and thinking how proud I was of her standing up on that stage and all of the words that she said. Being able to see Dianna in person and to hear her speak was probably one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me. She has made such a difference in my life and has been a part of what shaped me into the person I am today. Dianna speaks of love quite often, in all forms. Spreading love. Giving love. Being love. Letting love in. Some of her words of love are permanently written on my skin. These words remind me every day to live a life of love. Not only does the most recent addition to my collection say just that, it’s also the most personal to me. Because one year ago today, I got to hear these words spoken by her for myself.
