To The Person Who Saved Me
               Almost a year and a half ago I did not think I would be in the place I am today, my story was very different a year ago. I would lay in my bed at night crying myself to sleep over what had happened the night before. The person who I once trusted the most had come back to take yet another part of me. I had gotten to the point of acceptance, accepting that this is my reality everyone comes across something bad in their lives. This was my something bad. But I held on to the thought that maybe I wasn't completely broken, there had to be someone out there capable of loving me right? Problem is I didn't know if I was going to be able to find them, and if I did would I be able to keep them.Â
Growing up in a house like mine was the same as living in a prison, quiet and lonely. There is no one you can trust, no way to get out, and no one to come help you. That was my reality until I met Alex. She is like no one I have ever met before, she showed me things I didn't even know existed. Self-love is one of the biggest things I've struggled with but after a year of encouragement and guidance I have come to the conclusion that I deserve the best. I knew the moment I met Alex that I never wanted to lose her, she was something special. Alex is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I will never know why but she chose me.Â
Now it has been a little over a year and I am still falling in love with my best friend. Don't get me wrong, it isn't always rainbows and happiness in our relationship. But who want's that? Alex will be the first one to call me out on something i've done wrong, but still be there waiting with arms open when I need her the most. And I think that's what true love is, you have good and bad days love isn't always 50/50 sometimes you have to pick up that 80/20. It isn't always perfect, sometimes we argue and disagree but at the end of the day there is no one else I would rather be with or grow with. I would not want to do life with anyone else.Â
