It’s so rare to find someone that is your “safe place” in life. Your person that you can break down in front of. Your confidant. Your place of peace. Your keeper of dreams. Your partner to dream and build with. The person who encourages you to invest in yourself. The person who helps you figure out a way to accomplish things in life. The person who wakes up early or stays up late to be with you. It’s easy to feel like someone could be that, but it’s harder to find someone that actually is that. Finding people who are attractive or that turn you on or that flirt well, that’s easy. They’re everywhere. But finding someone who sticks around? Who stays? In the dark days? In the deep shit? Rare. Maybe a once or twice-in-a-lifetime thing. Hold people like that tight. Don’t let go.
