Kitsch

If you were wondering

You are so much better than I could ever deserve.

You have accepted all of me — my bullshit, my morning perkiness, my irrational anger, my love for Zac Efron, my anxieties, my obsessive parts.

You’ve been honest, direct, inviting, understanding. You have shared your whole life with me, from holidays with your family to our sweet little summertime garden.

You have held me when I’m most afraid and pushed me when I needed it. You’ve obliged my whims, given me pink roses, added the most pleasant delights to every single day for the last year.

What if you’d never found me, never pursued me? What if you’d backed away when I first said no? I would still be empty, emotionless, distant, broken. Worthless. You gave me a reason to be better.

What a blessing you are.
