" You make me feel real. Like it's ok for me to screw up, get back up, and try it one more time. Like where I came from doesn't matter as much as where I'm going. You make me feel like I should try my hardest, not hate myself when I get it wrong, and accept that perfection is what comes after a very long and bumpy road. "
