I don’t have all the answers to my problems or the solutions to the things that still plague me sometimes. I don’t know when I’ll move in with Banks, when we’ll get married, or when we’ll have our first baby.
But I know enough to trust in the process.
How could I not?
It led me here.
Banks winks at me.
To him.
And, in many ways, to me too.
I’m learning. Some days, I must remind myself that it’s okay to accept love and feel worthy of it. To watch for the moments that others show me, in their own ways, that I’m important to them.
Sometimes, it’s easy to fall back into old habits, and I start building walls, telling jokes—deflecting.
On those days, Damaris is here to remind me.
Andevery day, with every kiss, every hug, every affirming word—every suggestion that we buy chickens until we have babies, Banks helps me love myself a little more too. I love him so damn much.
We’re going to soar.
