all moments with Bennett are significant. He is the consistent bookmark to all the fantastic, exciting, and wonderfully miserable moments in my life.

I am currently in love with, have always been in love with, and will continue to be in love with my best friend, Bennett Walker Shaw. I don’t know when it started, and I don’t know when it will end. But, God, it’d better be soon.
