Being Loved By You... (Dedicated To My Loved Ones)

I've made the mistake of thinking you could do this life thing alone, I was so wrong. Life is humbling in that aspect, no human is an island, maybe we should all be the dock. To everyone in my life, I say thank you. Every one of you has given me joy, perspective, love, laughter, and support that you didn't even know I needed. I'm not writing this to be grandiose or performative, I believe those who love you should know you love them while you both can experience that love. I'm not perfect by any means, sometimes I wish I expressed more, didn't fear vulnerability the way I do, and didn't find comfort in being alone. For those times, I appreciate your patience and understanding of me when I didn't understand myself. The way I see it, God doesn't have to put the people in your life that he does, each of you is a gift to me. You've all made me better, lighter, and happier, all of you. I think as I grow older, I'm learning that life is better when you love with your heart, and allow others to do the same for you. So if you read this far, know I love you, and I thank you for being in my life, my life wouldn't be the same without you in it.
