I loved it all. Yes! there are some people who don't just turn into mechanics and say, "Babe, you need fixation". They sit with our cracks and watch us heal in our way. They don't suggest crappy ointments. They let us be ourselves. :)
The distinction between being loved for the polished version versus the draft really resonates. That line about living past the end of your myth is powerfull. Most people want the final edit, the buffed presentation, but there's something rare about someone who stays through the crossed out metaphors and blank spaces. Your description of the ordinary November eveing with tea and books captures what real intimacy looks like, its not cinematic, its quiet recognition.
This was beautiful to read. Inspiring, same same as a desire and so glad it and your two together exist. Lol to this being a departure from the usual. Blessings to you both…footnotes and all!
I kept hoping it would be to your husband. Thank you for acknowledging him so powerfully.
Thank you for giving me something to aspire to be for another.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you saying so, TJ. I really am grateful!
This is sickening. I love it.
A bit of a departure from my usual. It's his birthday. I had to say something nice…
Valid. Don’t let him get used to it though. He’d be insufferable.
Beautiful. Happy Birthday to him
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
This really touched me. Thank you. 🙏

I think that’s probably a very succinct summation of it: we need to people to let us be ourselves for sure! Thank you, Fatima.
Beautiful 🩷
