Thank you for keeping me from drifting away from myself, or drowning in anyone else’s expectations.
Ever since I was little, you have always been my person.
You are my safe haven.

My vocal cords often seemed to run out of patience with me before you ever did.
You always made me believe that my feelings were valid.
I remember you reading a story over my shoulder once.
You stood there, taking it all in as I was still typing it.
I didnt even know you were there until you said,Damn, girl.
Youre definitely a writer!That has always stayed with me.
You already see them, all on your own.
I dont have to beg you to pay attention or notice my latest efforts.
You just already see everything and know.
I wish more people cared the way that you do.
Thank you for keeping me from drifting away from myself, or drowning in anyone elses expectations.
Thank you for always making me feel seen and heard, and celebrated for being exactly who I am.
Even when I hated the colors, you treated each petal as if it were a masterpiece.
Thank you for everything.
I truly wouldnt be who I am without you.
