S is not a fairy tale prince. He is human. He is not static. He is endlessly capable of learning, of growing, of surprising me. He’s unflappable and flexible and so, so weird. He will never stop learning and questioning and improving himself. I wish I could take credit for the massive forward leaps he’s taken in the past few years, but I really have only been a companion in the growing and changing. I’m going to keep on growing and changing with him and he with me. I am not at all worried that one of us might branch off in the opposite direction. We’re just, we’re going to be going the same way.
