JKC,

I hope you’re a little easier on yourself today

Yesterday was a lot.

It really made you test your boundaries, self worth, identity, even sanity

But it’s OK! Because at the end of the day I got you

I’m here for you

Even if you get disappointed again and again and again

And you try your best and come to the stark realization it’ll never be enough for that person

It’s OK!!!

You are enough

You’ll be enough for the right person

And you won’t have to wear a mask

Or be with someone that can only talk to you in one

You’ll find safety and comfort and warmth again somewhere

So it wasn’t there

Dust yourself off again

You didn’t die

You just grew

You grew boundaries

And realized what you are and aren’t okay with

And if that causes others to be angry or hurt or distant

Then just live in that discomfort

It’ll eventually pass

It always does

I really, really love you, J

I am a part of you

But we’re not two different people

We co-exist

One cannot live without the other

Don’t forget that

And always know I know you’re doing your best

I acknowledge it

It may be not enough for others

It may come off as manipulate, fake, insincere

But I know you better

I know the person you are

Tomorrow it’ll be 33 years we’ve been together

No one will know you better than I have because no one has been with you, every waking moment of the day with you, like I have

So always remember

What I say to you holds the most weight

Even if you don’t believe it

Even if others say it’s not true

Even if society tells you otherwise

You’re doing great

& you are so, so loved as you are

\- KD

P.S. thank you so much for pulling me out again last night. just because it hasn’t been shown to them, it doesn’t mean we don’t exist

P.P.S. I think this last username is the best one yet. one day we’ll share it with others when we’re ready. our artwork is as beautiful as ever
