No one gets to tell me who I'm allowed to love. No one gets to tell me what "growth" looks like either. No one cared much when I was involved in an abusive relationship for 13 years.. why the sudden interest?

Julian was the first person in my life who didn't demand that I put him first. We could discuss things without him yelling at me (or worse). He never said that I was sick, or stupid, or worthless. He has always recommended self-care, meditation, and getting a good night's sleep. I'm 64 years old, and his was the first voice that I ever heard that said "you deserve to be happy", and "how can I help?" I'm just going to hang around Julian for the rest of my life, if "they" let us.
