“I’m still here and smiling”

I moved to LA about eight months ago. And I met a very special person and I kind of changed my life for them and we became very close and it turned out that I loved him and gave him so much more than he did to me.
I’m still here and smiling and I’m around people who care about me. I feel empowered I can move on.

The only stuffed animal I carry with me now, because I’m far from home, is a unicorn. It’s full of beans. it’s called the Beanie Babies and it is from my childhood. I have a huge collection of them and they are still at my dads house in New York. When I went home last year he told me to pick one to take with me so that I would think of him.
