No matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like… like everything will be okay.

Maybe it’s possible to have more than one home. Maybe it’s possible to belong in a hundred different ways to a hundred different people and places.

Just because not everyone gets you doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
