somebody out there loves you. they may not know why they love you but they do. they don’t care that they love you they just do and they’re happy they love you and they’re going to love you for a long time. they’re going to tell their children and then their grandchildren about you and how much they love you even if at that point they’ve known you for years and you’ve died or are still alive or even if they don’t even know your name or your natural hair color or if you like dancing or if you’re religious or if you can’t read or if you love to read or if you rinse out the sink after you brush your teeth or if you can’t have children or if you have eczema or if you’re allergic to cats or if you drink too much alcohol or if your dad is married to your mother’s sister now or if you don’t keep your underwear drawer in order or if you like anchovies or if you’re arrogant or if you don’t give yourself enough credit or if you’re just completely lost but enjoying your backstroke through life or if you have to be sure about everything or if you’re a liar or if you bite your fingernails or if you’ve never gotten a ticket or if you collect magazines or if you’ve never really loved another person or if you’ve loved trillions of other people before them but those people didn’t love you back or if some people did and you were still blind to it. somebody out there loves you and they may not know why they love you, but they do.
