love to my people
love to my beautiful fiance who let my broken heart bleed into its hands, held me while i cried, protected my belief in love when i could barely believe in anything, fills my life with an infectious sincerity and love that even on my worst days i can't help but stare and know i'm in the presence of something wonderful. love to my best friend kade who has stayed unwavering by my side for longer than anyone else, who radiates an unbelievable selflessness so strong that some days i only want to take her by the shoulders and cry to her that she deserves the love and consideration she shows everyone else. love to my friends mush and cherry for becoming the support system i needed when my life was in ruins and i was barely a person at all. for telling me everything i needed to hear whether i knew it or not. for giving me hope for a future when i couldn't even picture tomorrow. love to my friend kira who held a mirror to me and helped me accept that i am not alone or broken because of the pain i've been caused, who made me smile when i hated myself, who made months of trauma recovery a million times less crushing just from getting to see them every day. love to my sister, the single person i admire most in this world, who's stronger than she should ever have to be, who loves so powerfully and deeply that i truly think it bends the world around her. who i could never, ever say "i love you" to enough. who i wish i saw much more often than i do. love to my people
