“One thing you need to know about me is that I am an absolute idealist. I see everything in this lens. Everything can be so magical if we a little kinder and more open.

When I let him push the limits of what I am capable of and what I can take from him—the space in my head for self-consciousness and outside thoughts shrank and shrank until I could only be there, experiencing what he gave me.”
