Dear T,

I wish we were friends in real life. I wish we had family who cared like you do. It's hard to feel "close" with anyone, but you make it easier for me to bear. I still have trust issues, as you well know, but I feel like I'm being able to open up with you - at least a little. I try to open up with some of the people in my life, but not all of them are 100% safe. So, I'm learning how to figure out which ones are safe - over time. I learn a lot of things just from our interactions alone.
