hey you. yes, you. keep reading.

dear super awesome guy who does everything for everyone all the time,

you don't always have to be the strongest human ever. even though you think you do.
you don't have to pretend you're okay and like you have everything under control.
you can stick up for yourself. you don't have to let everyone walk all over you.

you can admit defeat sometimes. and it's not illegal to take a couple days off when you need a breather.
you don't have to hold it all in. i'll always listen. and if you don't wanna talk to me, talk to someone. i'm tough, and honestly your stuff is easier for me to deal with than mine. besides, mine gets boring.
it's not healthy to keep it all in though, i promise.

you've got millions and billions of responsibilities. you wake up early and go to school, then work. and then do it all again. you try to see your favorite people. and you have that other job that steals you away for a weekend every month. you go to school four days, work five, and they overlap weird, so you have some type of responsibility six days a week.

no one tells you how great you are. you probably don't tell many people all the things you do all the time. so when they make demands, they don't know the load they're adding to. you don't tell people no. maybe sometimes you should...

i could go on forever, you know that because you listen to me all the time. i won't. just please don't forget how amazing you are. no one tells you that. i'll tell you every single day, if it'll help. you honestly have one of the most beautiful, brilliant souls. please don't let anyone every dim that light. you have a lot you can give.

don't give it freely though.
only give yourself to people who will actually appreciate what you do, instead of the ones who find new ways to use and abuse you.

you've changed my life, you know. just by being you. take it for what it is, just words on a page. but you know me, i think. more than anyone really does these days...you care for reasons i can't imagine or possibly begin to understand. you know my heart, the pieces i willingly show you and the ones you sometimes surprise out of me. i meant everything i said.

you haven't left yet, which is lucky for me. especially considering how often i turn into a sass ass, just to irritate you. just so you know, i'm not going anywhere either. until you tell me you don't want anything from me, i'm here. you don't scare me.

rambling. that's what i'm doing now. i'll stop.
but seriously. you're perfect, imperfections and all.

sincerely/love,
jayc,  your coldstone savage princess.
