You write about offering a simple and pure form of yourself. It was meant to be like that. We weren’t ready for each other before now. There is no coincidence in the fact that we met right when I was re-building my life and you are at your best inner-self but yet we both started down a similar spiritual path. That glowing simplicity shines through so clearly and I treasure it. What you are and have to offer from within is worth more than any material item. So many people in this world hide behind their things. Deriving self-value from it, but you really don’t have that option and in a strange way, I am grateful for it. In that I have the opportunity to get to know you in this form, before you go out into the world and feel its many pressures. All of your past mistakes are beautiful because they are a part of who you have become. I love your cracked pieces just as much as any pristine ones, if not more.  Sometimes I fear that you will take stock of all my complexities and realize that you just cannot. It’s a bit hypocritical isn’t it? To accept you as you are, but not expect you to do so in return. You are seeing me as I am rising from the ashes to become a higher form of myself. My vulnerable spots are not hidden away by armor or skin calloused from battle. We are both in a place where hiding just doesn’t seem like an option.  Just are who we are. I do want you to know, that even if you were not getting out soon, I would still stick with you. You’re beyond worth it.
