Extremely close, probably.

I mean it when I say it, even though I say it often and to a lot of people, because the fact of the matter is that I am too afraid of not saying it. I always think of Oskar Schell and the way he said, "Dad?" and his dad turned around and he hesitated and said, "Goodnight, dad," when he meant to say, "I love you, dad." But he didn't and then his dad was gone.


So I say it whenever I feel it. Because I'm too afraid of simply saying, "Goodnight." I say "I love you" out of fear. And love, obviously.


So I just began to cry tears because I didn't know what else to do.
All my love,
Addy


P.S. Changed my profile photo because I like this one better. It's me, age 4ish.
