Love, Jemma

#full circle, I guess? 🤭🤭🤭

For Phil Coulson, who taught me that every moment of life is precious - because even if you keep getting brought back, there’s always going to be things you missed about your old life, and things you wish you could say.

For Daisy Johnson, who taught me that change is inevitable, but I do not have to let it make my unkind - because she was kind no matter if she was the hacker, the agent, the vigilante, the hero, or the destroyer.

For Melinda May, who taught me that swallowing back your emotions is not always the bset way - because there are more productive things to do with your anger, your grief, and your disappointment than to shove them into a dark corner and let them sit forever.

For Leo Fitz, who taught me that we all have a darkness inside us, but what matters is whether or not we choose the light - because our choices define us more than the worst we can be.

For Jemma Simmons, who taught me I didn’t need to apologize for my intelligence - because being intelligent does not mean I am unable of being loved, compassionate, or bad-ass.

For Antoine Triplett, who taught me that joy is everywhere - because you can bring the joy (and the funk) wherever you are, and lighting up others’ lives is never a bad thing.

For Lance Hunter, who taught me that the best version of myself isn’t here yet, and that’s okay - because there are going to be people who love me, want me, and need me even as I go through the struggle of becoming a better person.

For Bobbi Morse, who taught me that it is possible to be both strong and soft - because when I am strong I can protect others, but when I am soft others will still be willing to protect me.

For Alphonso Mackenzie, who taught me that the greatest gift you can give someone is kindness and understanding - because no matter who they are, sometimes all they need is a bear hug and a listening ear.

For Lincoln Campbell, who taught me my past does not define me - because it is possible to go from the depths of despair to the highest highs, and maybe even one day save the world.

For Elena Rodriguez, who taught me to always bounce back - because there will be things in life you regret, but you can’t change them; only make sure they don’t change you for the worse.

we will never be those kids again
