“

What if we stay even though sometimes it hurts so bad we can barely catch our breath? What if we stay for you, for me? What if we stay for each other?

“

I will stay even when it’s not easy.

“

You don’t want to commit to someone who sets off your paranoia. You don’t want to commit to someone who makes you feel like they might leave at any second. 

“

Because you have a dog who has so much life left to be lived. 

“

I’m learning the beauty of living in a place of ‘enoughness.’ Where right now is enough. Where I am enough. Where the people around me are more than enough. Where love is enough.

“

I want you to fight for me and take the time to get to know me. I want you to uncover every complicated layer that makes up who I am.

“

I want you to know that no matter how many times I say I wanna be alone, it really only means that I need you beside me because you’re the only one who knows how to make me feel better.

“

If you’re going to love me, please promise you’ll stay.

“

Be the one who stays. The one who doesn’t feel the need to lie. To roll the dice. To play the game. Be the kind of person that means what they say. Be the kind of person who doesn’t go.

“

There are and always will be people who want you here–who need you here. I need you here.
