#doesn't make a ton of sense in sequence but it was stream of consciousness.

Let the most spectacularly beautiful creature you have ever met pick you up by the scruff of your heart and push you around like a ragdoll cat.

Live for them, the creature

Let them hold you and make you dinner, and let them fold your laundry.

Let them witness you when you wish no one could see you. When you feel disgusting.

Let them hear you cry if you can.

The next day that you are able, you must wash their dishes and rub their shoulders, and bring them all your food.

They are like you, a creature who lives among creatures who pretend they are more than what meets the eye.

But know them. Learn them. Understand them. Trust them.

Hear their dance when they do not want to sing.

Read their breath when they do not want to write.

Live inside the folds of their body, and break the folds in

Until your folds become comfortable too.
