I remember being told I could never have someone who would love me openly & without restrictions, I remember crying at night about the way that was being conditioned to see my circumstance. I am a BLACK TRANS WOMAN, who in their right mind would ever want to build a life with me?
Who would wanna share their most intimate moments with me?
I remember giving up on love. Believing that maybe everyone else was right. Maybe all I would be good for was a late-night therapy session & then YOU came along.
You fought against every wall I built to keep you away.
You asked the questions that mattered and challenged me in a way that made my mind soar beyond my own experience. You were there for me when I needed you most and allowed me to do the same.
All I've ever wanted was the license to create my own love story.
The green light to build my own family and the love to help sustain it all and YOU without a shadow of a doubt have given me that and so much more. Life is NOT. A fairy tale, but you remind me that my Cinderella story is far from unattainable. I LOVE YOU! With my entire soul,
