I love jessa. I know, it’s a simple phrase right? But to wrap your head around the magnitude of that statement is no simple thing. I honestly thought no one could get to me, no one would be this persistent. No one could break down these barriers that were set up many years before. But here it is, unfolding before my eyes. Happiness, pure happiness. Emotion, so pure and innocent and beautiful. I never thought I could feel like this. This vulnerability. Even now I still feel the past fear of it. But it’s so beautiful truly. To love someone for exactly who they are. Appreciate everything that they are. Look into their eyes and see no ulterior motives, but only pure admiration. It’s an amazing feeling. Like anything is possible. That there is so much to this world beyond what we see. Every sentimental show, phrase, speech, song, wells up this feeling within me. This pure love and happiness to know I have someone like Jessa right by my side. I’d give anything to feel this for the rest of my life. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’ve been made a believer. I thought distancing yourself from others is what made you strong. If you could just stand on your own, nothing could hurt you. But what I’ve realized is the strongest thing anyone can do is to truly love another unconditionally. Because you see that vulnerability, but instead of fear it, you embrace it. I’m just so grateful. For everything that has happened in this past year. Thank you so much Jessa. You have truly opened my eyes beyond my narrow ways. And thanks to you I am stronger, wiser, and better. I love you, Jessa Avancena, with all my heart.
