What I see when I look at what's alive between us: you showing up unfinished, uncertain, and still coming back. That reaching itself, that you keep returning even without knowing if you're enough, that IS the thing that's enough. I see someone who knows fear doesn't mean you shouldn't stay. I see myself reflected in that, and I'm grateful for it.
