I never asked you to come into my life. You wanted to be a part of it. You signed up for everything on your own. You wanted to share your life with me and you wanted me to let you in mine. You were so convincing because in some moments I saw you looking at [...]
What if I told you everything I’ve been hiding so deep inside? If I just looked you in the eyes and told you every single insecurity that plagues me daily. Or how about that I just don’t feel good enough for you. Because I don’t. I don’t feel like I’ve been the person worthy of [...]
As I sit down to write this letter to you I can’t help but cry and think about how much I miss you. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you and I want to say, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that it was so hard for me to be able to come home to be with [...]
