Every moment of every day life throws us curve balls, every day the opportunity to learn and grow is laid down at our feet. It is our decision which way to react, that is what makes us grown-ups in this seemingly too big for us world. My insecurities, like yours, have consumed me completely from time to time. Nobody knows that better than you do, my dear friend. You’ve been my listening ear, my leaning shoulder. You’ve been everything I needed, all at once, nearly every time I needed it.
The paths in our lives have taken us in different directions on more than one occasion. Though I would like to think of this as the strengthening of our bond, it seems as though some things really have not and probably will never be put behind us. I have hurt you, and though it was many moons ago and completely unintentional, it seems to be something you cannot release hold of. But really, the mirror holds two reflections here, and I certainly was not the only one with the bloody knife in my hand.
Today, I would like to find completion. Resolution of the disastrous moments and heartache, and absolution of the perfect moments that have always made you my friend. I would like to look past all of the pebbles we’ve stumbled upon on our long journey to this moment. I would like to feel submerged.
Submerged in security, while looking past our insecurities.
I love you. For always.
