"Look at me. Really look at me. I'm not in love with a fantasy. I'm in love with you. The real you. The wolf who has nightmares and fears and insecurities. The wolf who's doing her best while scared. The wolf who built a pack while traumatized. The wolf who's raising incredible children while constantly doubting herself. That's who I love. Not some perfect version. You. Messy and real and human.
