This was the most recent photo of myself I could find that I didn't fucking hate. XD I hate the way I look anymore, so I don't take selfies as often as I used to. But this one isn't bad. Plus, it has a sexy man in it. So yeah, this me and my boyfriend, Avery a.k.a. Ratchet, at the Baltimore Science Center. That was such a fun day. I can't say enough how much this man means to me and how much he has done for me in the short time I've known him. I didn't think I'd ever love again after Alex passed last year. But Avery came along and changed everything. Of course, no one will ever replace Alex or take his place in my heart, but Avery has helped me find the ability to move forward and accept love again. I knew it would take a miracle for me to trust anyone enough again to want to commit to them, but he proved his worth and gave everything of himself that he could, even when he was getting nothing in return. He stuck by me through my fear and stubbornness, my trepidation, flakiness, grief, guilt and sadness, and loved me through it. Now I can scarcely imagine how much darker and bleaker my life would be like today without him. I love you so much, Avery. You're my knight in shining cotton blend slacks and to express my gratitude to you would be impossible. Thank you for loving me. <3
