I’ve known you since I was one. You’ve changed quite a bit, but so have I. After 20 years, there should be at least a little change. It’s only a natural thing to happen and change should be embraced. While we’ve changed in many ways for the better, some change is just simply out of our control. In a short time, part of you will be underwater which is something everybody is trying to cope with. It’s a change that nobody really wants to deal with, but we’re forced to. Throughout all the change that has come with us over the years you still make me feel the same exact way I did when I was little. You have loved me when I’ve felt unlovable. You know all my secrets, even the darkest and deepest. You were there for a lot of laughs, but shared some tears with me as well. You’ve had your fair share of natural disasters and I’ve had mine. I guess that’s why hurricanes are named after people. Yet, we both come back better than ever. You’ve definitely helped me and been there for me after all the storms, but I don’t think I could say I’ve done the same for you. Some people say home is a person and others say that themselves is what makes a place home. To me, you’re home. I knew this is where I always wanted to be since I was a little girl, but at that time I didn’t know the words to express that. It took years of finding myself and going through some shit to realize just how much you meant to me. More importantly recognizing how you made me feel and knowing that you were my place. Through any and all bullshit, I knew I could come to you without any judgement. You have a way of bringing me back to reality, but without everybody else’s opinions and views. You give me a crystal clear vision about everything, always. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t scare me shitless to think that one day that vision might get clouded. If I were to pray to any and every god, it would be that you never lose your sense of clarity. I recently read a quote that said we have the same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, tying us to the ocean. I don’t know how true that is, but maybe that is why I feel so connected to you or maybe I was a sea turtle in my past life, whichever it may be…I always find myself coming to you for some sort of advice and clarity. You keep me humble and in today’s world of social media that seems like an impossible task. You bring me back to myself, even if I didn’t feel lost. What you do for me is so evident that others have suggested when it’s time for me to give you a visit. There’s this extraordinary energy about you that consumes and calms me all at once. The way you dismantle my defenses and challenge me to think about situations from a different view helps me become a stronger and more passionate person. I feel capable of anything around you, okay almost anything legal. One of the greatest gifts you could give someone is accepting them for who they are with no judgement and you do that with ease. I get very bored very quickly so, normal people would think I would get tired of visiting you, laying on your beach, and watching the sun set everyday, but the reality is I could never get tired of those things. You make me feel like me which that feeling is something I can’t find anywhere else. It’s a feeling that I crave. Some said seeing you everyday would be different than just once in a while, but they were wrong. I’ve fallen more in love with who you are. The people you surround yourself with are some of the nicest assholes you’ll ever meet, which is probably why I like them so much. You’ve been home since I could remember. Thank you for being you and allowing me to be me.

love
