Recognize.

Recognize.

I am who I choose to be.

That’s not what most people want.

I don’t need you to fix me.

I will love you fiercely.

And after 25 years, I have come to recognize one thing for certain.

I’m not the guy you settle for…

I.

Am the Gold Standard.

Because I fight to be.

Because I chose to be.

Because I wake up every morning and make choices that don’t give me what I want but make me who I want to be…

And I’m done apologizing for it.
