Evidence of the Affair

by Taylor Jenkins Reid

It is funny the crazy things our brains make up to save us from the truth.

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.

Sometimes I think mine might turn to stone any minute now, and yet every time I see you I soften, reminded of how you still choose kindness over anger at every step.

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

Thank you for helping me hold my head a bit higher at a time in which it has every reason to hang low.

The only silver lining, should all this end in disaster, is that there is you.

You have changed me for the rest of my life, and if I had to go through all this, I’m lucky to have gone through it with you. You will be in my heart forever.

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