If I get to experience this life with the people I love.

A life that’s been loved is a life that’s been lived.

When I love who I am, my life becomes my own instead of everyone else’s.

I have spent most of my life trying to grow a thicker skin, but I can’t. I always leave my chest wide open so you can touch my heart, so you can see it beat.

“August baptizes me in its quiet afternoons and every September I am born again.”
