author's note

"For so long, I've felt alone. Although I was never really alone, it still felt that way. I was surrounded by people all of the time, but it still felt so incredibly lonely. That was until I met him, of course. It might sound cliche, but...he sort of changed my life. He was the hope that I had been waiting for. After all of these years, my prayers had finally been answered. I held onto the hope that one day, I'd find someone who would make me come to life. Someone who would help me escape the shell of my former life and slip into the life that I have always wanted. The one that I've been dreaming of ever since I was a little boy. I've found him, but our lives aren't like a fairy tale. Far from it, actually. There are times where he breaks my heart, but that's how I know it's real. What we have is real. Because if he wasn't able to break my heart, then that would mean he never really had it in the first place. But in the end, he is still my prince charming. And no matter what, I love him. I will always love Brady."
