“You walk through life with this lightness inside you. It shines like a beacon. Your laugh, your sense of humor, the way you see the world… You remind me that there’s still goodness and kindness out there. Even though you have your own slew of reasons to be bitter or negative… you always see the light.” My voice gets thick with emotion. “And when you share that light with me, it makes me feel like… maybe I don’t have to live in the shadows anymore.”
