Rayne:

Thank YOU for reading and your kind note.

I know our story isn't for everyone and that's okay. It isn't meant to be. It is for anyone who may feel their situation is similar, even in the slightest. Or for anyone who may have ever felt, omg I must be alone. Because I have, so many times. Even in something completely different.

Sure, things don't always work out. Sometimes they aren't meant to. But sometimes, there is a spark of something there that we are meant to fan into a flame. And with Damian, I knew he was more than he was allowing himself to be. He just had to put in the work. And over the last eight years, he's busted his ass to do that work.

He continues to do it every single day.

But HE had to do it. I couldn't do it for him. I was just there to support him, let him know he was safe, and that is was 100 percent okay to cut off those who didn't do that for him (shitty family, no good "friends", etc.)

Thanks again and if things are meant to be, I wish ya'll the absolute best.
