Evidence of the Affair

by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Often, I feel overwhelmed by this sinking feeling in my heart that I will never be enough.

I’ve always been struck by the idea that you can’t be all that happy something has returned if it doesn’t go away in the first place.

It seems as if you see me exactly as I wish to be seen. There is no greater gift than that.

You lack nothing, regardless of what roadblocks you have hit in your life, no matter what things in life don’t come easy to you. You lack nothing at all. I hope you see that.

My life may not be perfect, but at least I can finally say it belongs to me.
