The Infamous Wizard of Oz
Let's clear up one misconception straight away; I do NOT want to fix you. To fix you is to imply change is desired, or infer that you are broken. When you genuinely enjoy someone just as they are to see them become something other than just that is disheartening. I don't want you to compromise the very foundation of what makes you exactly who you are. I think too often my desire to help or heal or love is misunderstood. There are only a handful of people in this world i truly feel connected to and once that bond forms its permanence is non negotiable. I'm going to root for you on your worst days. Im going to want to hold you close on the quiet unspoken nights. I want to make you laugh and challenge yourself. I want there to be moments you're too completely engrossed in conversation and ideas and wonder that we escape this wretched reality that lingers just outside the nearest door. I want you to feel safe and heard and wanted...to know that in a world where 'belonging' can feel alien that you can find a place of surrender in me. I want you to chase your big dreams and not be afraid of failing; to pursue all the wildest fantasies...to sing loudly and off key...to make mistakes without the fear of reprimand...to know that every imperfect piece of me will honor every dark messy piece of you. So no, i don't want to save you. I don't want to alter you, fix you or correct you. I just want the elusive thing that we all keep safe guarded with high fences...i want the real you.
