Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to
love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to
learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of
love I want to be…and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a
single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want
to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put
everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude,
every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I
will keep it safe.
