174: The Best Thing

Maybe the best part
about having adults that love you
is the way they bring you soup
when you get your appendix out
or the way they check the air pressure
in your tires
every time you come home.
Maybe it’s the way they give you their earrings
from the 80s
and their faith,
and their love of books,
and their physical books.
Maybe the best part
about having adults that love you
is how they’ll crawl to you
on the bathroom floor
when the pain is too much,
to the backseat of the car
when it feels like you can’t breathe,
into the closet
and out of the closet
when you feel the most alone.
Then again,
maybe the best thing
about having adults that love you
is the way they teach you
that you are worthy of that love-
exactly as you are,
and maybe no matter
who we are
or how old we get,
we all need that.
I want to be an adult
known for love.
