They told me that one day I'd be seen as normal.
Now I had that.
But only for a bit.
Because when I was with Jack we both were normal.
His eyes crinkle up when he laughs.
I like that I know that about him.
He was my happiness, and I'd do anything to keep him happy.
It was only convenient that the things that made us happy were the same.
We didn't spend as much times on walks anymore.
Instead we spent time being ourselves.
It was liberating, and I found myself wanting to spend more and more time with him.
I wasn't sad anymore.
I didn't want to leave this life.
I wanted to stay, and I wanted to live.
Because if I didn't live then I'd never have met Jack.
And that's one thing I'll always thank life for.
My parents smiled at me more.
They said they were proud of me.
For finding happiness.
For moving on.
I wasn't as nervous about everything.
Jack and I held each other up, and I felt...healed.
They told me that one day I'd be seen as normal.
Now I had that.
And even though it was only for a bit, I wasn't scared.
Because I finally knew what it meant to be happy.
And I wasn't letting that go anytime soon.
