dear holly

Dear Holly,

I am endlessly, perpetually grateful to have you in my life. Talking to you is very often the highlight of my day; when I have comments from you, I save them for last when I check my mail, like setting aside the best treats. You have been an enormous help to me as a writer; often when I'm writing I will hold things to the Holly Litmus Test before letting them out the door. But you've been a bigger help to my heart, which sounds super gay but by which I just mean that my life is sometimes unpretty and hard for me to get through, but that you give me perspective and hope and something to look forward to. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Thank you. I love you. Four more years. <3
