Favorite Quote:
"Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."
—J.K. Rowling


You’re instantly drawn to him.
He’s physically attractive,
But it’s his personality
That keeps you seeking his company.
He’ll loyally follow you anywhere.
He’ll hug and kiss you until
You can’t possibly be sad anymore.
He tells you of his past
And you want to take all his pain away.
You can’t bear to see him cry.
He’s half puppy dog
And half jerk.
But you love it
Because it gives him the confidence
That drew you in the first place.
He graciously accepts the role of
“Boy Toy”—and wears it well.
You want him by your side
Through everything.
You worry when he’s gone.
