I think there's something worth fighting for in the idea of caring deeply, even when the world makes that feel naive sometimes. I don't think love has to be reserved only for people in front of me; I try to carry a kind of tenderness into most of what I do. A lot of that comes from having spent so much of my life feeling misunderstood. It taught me how much it matters to be seen. I'm endlessly curious about myself, which sounds a little self-absorbed maybe, but I promise its not in vain.
