WELCOME CORI 💕

Dear Cori,

Cori is the only person I trust with everything, absolutely everything. She knows she doesn’t need a specific reason to text me, call me, FaceTime me, hug me, touch me, or kiss me. She is completely free to do whatever she wants, purely because she is honest and real with me. As long as she stays that way, my trust in her will never waiver.

Usually, whenever I met someone new, I’d constantly try to figure out what was really going on in their head. I used to only cross paths with people who loved to lie and play games. They’d say stuff like "You're my reason to live," while turning around and saying the exact same thing to someone else, causing so much pain. Or "I'll never leave you," right before walking away. But since I don't hold grudges, I'd just move on with my life.

Promises meant nothing to me. I didn't care if you told me you’d bring down the moon for me, that I was your purpose, or that you’d stay forever, if you didn't back it up with actions, it was impossible for me to believe you. I used to push explosive people to their absolute limits just to see who they really were underneath. It worked, sure, but then I met my Cori.

She’s the only person capable of being honest and keeping things from me at the same time, and don't get me wrong, I’d never forgive a real lie. But listen to me: she is so dangerously good at hiding things (in both the best and worst ways), and yet I love her so deeply. With her, I actually believe every single word she says and every promise she makes.

I am so, so in love with the nicknames she gives me because I genuinely feel like I mean those things to her. My absolute favorites are "preciosa" and "goddess of Olympus." I love her so much. So many people have called me "cute" names before, but I never believed them. I’d just say thank you because back then, even if I didn't want something, or didn't want to be called or touched a certain way, I felt like I had no voice to speak up. I just accepted whatever they threw at me.

But with Cori, it's totally different. She is so unique and so genuinely real that it almost hurts. Her words feel so profoundly honest that I never imagined anyone could be this transparent with me or know me this deeply. I truly believe everything she tells me, and she feels the same way about me.

She gives me my place, even in her imagination haha. She prioritizes me, loves me, takes care of me, protects me, stands up for me against anyone else, and holds me so tight just to let me know she’s not going anywhere. She promised me she’ll keep doing all of this, and I will keep believing in her because she’s my Cori.💕
