I want to be someone’s safe place, even outside of romance. I want to be the person they think of when they whisper, “Can I tell you something?” I want them to feel comfortable saying, “I tried something new today, and I was nervous, but I wanted you to see it.” I want to earn the words, “I knew I could trust you.” I want to be someone whose hand feels safe to hold, who listens without rushing, who keeps showing up and keeps trying. I know I’ll never get it right every time, but I hope people always know they’re welcome with me. I just want to be a little corner of the world where someone can exhale, be fully themselves, and not feel like they have to brace for anything.
