I will love you if you are raw and real. I do not care about “normality” or properness. if you are raw and real and find the strength to love things that are raw and real I will love you.

I may not love you if you are scrubbed and sanitized. anyone can love a sanitized thing. I love the anger (even though it scares me). I love the fear (even though I drown in it sometimes). I love the howling grief and the slithering despair. I love these things because they are human.

I will love you because you relish your humanity and all the raw and rough and real things that really means.
