In the most unironic fashion ever, I would like to thank everyone who broke me in some way. Whether it was physical, mental, emotional, financial, or spiritual brokenness that you contributed to, it’s because of you that I was forced to put myself back together. To quote the great Hannah Gadsby, “There is no way anyone would dare test their strength out on me, because you all know there is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.”
Also, to Joe, who loves me altogether. You love me when I’m too much and when I feel like I’m not enough. You are my favorite, and I’m so glad I got to marry you.
