It was wonderful to sit with her head on my shoulder for hours and feel as I always have, even now, closer to her than to any other human being.

steak and corn quiche is basically the best breakfast (as it turns out).
I had the greatest weekend. I’ve never been this consistently happy, content, and restless all at once. happy because I can’t get over how lucky I am. content because all is well in my soul. restless because this newfound confidence and camaraderie makes me want to create and build and do great things.
I feel sexy, I feel alive, I feel wanted and needed and relied upon; I feel taken care of and I feel protected. and most of all I feel trusted. it’s kind of amazing, the good you find in yourself and others when you are open to someone you can completely trust. <3
You have a heart of gold
and I am kneeling in your bloodstream
panning for the only thing that has ever felt like home.
