"So close to feeling alive"

Listening to: Jon McLaughlin
Feeling: affectionate
I know that you aren’t okay, it kills me that you’re not. I know that isn’t my fault, but I hope that I can find a way to make you feel like you belong there. You’re expecting too much of yourself. You’re trying to be the absolute best, and you don’t have to be. I wish you would realize that. That it’s okay to struggle. You can’t keep pushing yourself to be perfect, to make everyone proud. Everyone is already proud of you. You think that if you don’t make the perfect grades, and work your ass off everyone is going to think that you’re a failure. We are so proud of you Ashley. It’s hard to do all of the things that you’re doing. But you’re up there doing them. You haven’t quit. It would be so easy for you to come home, and transfer back. You aren’t though…because you’re strong enough to be where you are. You think that you’re not, but I know differently. I love you, and it isn’t because you’re perfect. I love you because you make me a better person. I love every single flaw that you have. Your flaws sync with my own, and the outcome is beautiful. I know that you need be to be there with you. I’m trying so hard, all we can do is wait. I have a feeling that even when it comes for me to move up there, there are going to be obstacles. We’ll make it through them though, we always do. It’s going to be hard, harder than it has been. But I know that it’ll be okay. I’ll fight for it, I’ll fight for you. You’re worth it. And when we’re finally together, it’ll be for the rest of our lives.

You say I'm strong, and I don't see it. But I know that without you I wouldn't make it here. You're where I draw what little strength I do have. You're the only reason I still smile. You're the one person that keeps me going. I wouldn't make it without you by my side. And I know that it's been hard lately, but I promise you that I'm not going anywhere. I could never leave you. I love you way too much. With all that I am. And that'll never change.
