So today is national boyfriend day and I wanted to, once again, mention the most wonderful person I could ever ask to share my life with.

This time, I’d like to say to anyone out there who thinks that the odds are impossible, they couldn’t be more wrong.

I remember the first time my toxic father told me that we could never make it, and tried his damnedest to make that so. I remember my ex-friends and their “best interests” and how untrustworthy they were to a person they didn’t know. I remember my former college, and the way they unlawfully sent campus police to follow us around because again, we had a look they didn’t like.

But here we are, four years strong and no sign of stopping. I will never give up on making the best life for Krystian and I, because no one has made me a better, happier person. This one goes out to the kids from families who control every aspect of their lives, it gets better. You deserve happiness, and you will have it.
