more to the story

And the tears come streaming down your face. When you lose something you cannot replace. When you love someone, but it goes to waste. Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home. And ignite your bones. 

I wish I could see that. 

This industry seems to invest more in perfection than in flaw. But flaw and individuality, to me, are what make a human being interesting, they make our stories worth telling. I love to operate in a world that values things outside of beauty. It’s just more what I feel comfortable doing.

I’ve never had a safe place to land, but now I feel like I do, so I want you to stay safe. 

I wrote about what it means to support someone unconditionally even when they haven’t been entirely honest with you. And how everybody needs somebody to be inspired by. Somebody who sets the bar really high. Somebody who’ll put someone else’s needs before their own. And then not resent them for it. Somebody who always expects you to do the right thing. And then forgives you when you don’t.
