Lookit these boys playing. 💙
I look back at my past self some days, and I see someone so well-intentioned and so broken by brainwashing and manipulation. I have so much love and compassion for past me. He did his best in some fucking impossible circumstances and with some pretty awful people breathing down his neck. He kept trying his hardest every day, no matter how small others made him think he was.
You can see it in his smile. His hope is great. His love is great. His pain is immeasurable.
I'm grateful for his sacrifice. I wouldn't be here without him.
