He's solid. You're fractured. He's hopeful. You're hopeless. He's always there. You're half there. He's faithful. You're so not. He's giving. You're afraid to give. He's honest. You lie all the time. He's loving. You don't know how to love.

Life is all about change. If it were static, think about how boring it would be. You can't be afraid of it, and you can't worry that you'll mess things up. You deserve good things, and I want to be one of them.
