“A possibly out-of-work musician with anxiety and newly diagnosed depression, who might not ever be easy to live with and will always be oddly quirky, but who is so fucking in love with you that he’s asking you to deal with it anyway.”

YEEEEEEESSSSSSS 😭👏🏽🤸🏽‍♀️

“Oh, kiddo. Love never makes us weaker. Sometimes it takes us a while to see that, but love makes us stronger.”

“You deserve him. You’re the only one who knows what it’s like to walk in your shoes, and you’re doing your best in them. Someone else might look at you from theirs and judge you, but that’s on them. They’ll never know how yours fit, and you’ll never know how theirs do.”

I tried to tease. Because of course he would ask about “Hotel Nights.” It had been about us, but then Law was in everything I wrote.

He wrote a song for Law?! I’m unwell 😭😭😭 Law doesn’t even hear his music!

I went to pull away, but his finger in my belt loop stopped me from going too far. “I still don’t know what we’re doing, but I want it to be different this time. I really am gonna try.”

😭😭😭

“That I’m tired. I’m so damn tired of…everything. Of being the way I am. Of hiding. The only times I’ve ever felt like me, like the me I could be, is when I’m onstage or when I’m with you.”

Rem and Law have me all emotional 😭 I want them together!

I sat on the edge of the bed, feet on the floor, looking at him. I might be like music to him, but I wasn’t music. That would always come first.

Oh baby, I want to hug Law so bad 😭💔
