A love letter to my best friend by Ali
About 5 more hours until check out and then it's off to...well... I could not tell you, it will be like most days I'm sure. With our 2 suit cases packed, a backpack each and a carry on each, we set out into the big bad world. My best friend and I look into each other's eyes like we have many times before now, we lock hands and the day begins. As we walk down the driveway of our 3rd airbnb this week.I think to myself, as much as this man drives be ballistic at times, I couldn't see myself with anyone else. He is more than just a lover, my best friend,he is a teacher,my strength, my weakness, a freethinker, a companion, a caring, passionate being. This man softens my rigid edges, he believes in me when no one else does (including myself). He encourages me to go places I haven't, to take chances be disorganized, have fun and enjoy the process of things rather than getting to the end. He has allowed me to be comfortable in vulnerability, given me emotional security and safety. We may have our differences, but as we make our way out to continue our journey into uncharted territory I can honestly say, I am exactly where I am supposed to be. For once, where I am supposed to be is conducive to where I want to be. I wish he could see what I see when I look at him, I wish he had the confidence I know he has a right to have, he's not perfect but in my eyes he's better. Flaws are what makes a person beautiful, judge not those who are deemed respectable but the ones cast aside, the beaten and the vulnerable, now that's where the real beauty is. He has opened my eyes and my heart to this sort of thinking. Although I struggle with patience, I'm naturally an angry person, but he makes me less angry, less bitter, less resentful, he is what makes me beautiful. He is my fiance and I can't wait to marry him; no one has saw me in the same light he has. Everyday I put on a show, everyone knows that, however he kbows my favorite act os to disappear. I love you ACC
