When a book is worn, it's safe to assume it's been loved by many.
This year made me understand that the same should not be said for people.
Love should not wear you down, it shouldn't tear or wrinkle your pages.
I deserve to be treated like an autographed first edition.
Loved in such a way that I forget what it was like to collect dust on a shelf.
A love that smooths out the pages and appreciates every word that makes my story.
