You run by a whole other set of rules than the rest of us do. Please don’t ever worry about whatever anyone else is doing! Not that you do! But, just in case. You’re so beautiful just as you are! In a way that makes it impossible to compare you to any other man or woman! Because nobody has your beauty! You might as well be your own species! Happily one compatible with human beings!! But sadly an endangered species only in the sense there’s only one of you! So please find a way to make another K—- *——s!!! And please please *please* (stop the begging, Todd!!) send one of them my way!! I *promise* to treat her with tender loving care!! Like when I adopted Bullseye in 2005, I almost cry thinking about where I was and how far I’ve arrived. But I went to Wal*Mart with what little money I had. I didn’t know what I was doing! But I bought a pet bed and toys. (I wasn’t even allowed to have dogs where I was! It’s good to break the rules sometimes. It changed my life.) Anyway, we get home – it’s just him and me! This new team, needing to learn about each other. And I laid out all the toys, and showed him his bed. I looked at him, he looked at me. And he jumped up on my king-size one with me! And he never left! He’s still in my heart, every day! He was born sick and had issues, but I took care of him, and made the very best decisions I could. I made some mistakes, but learned along the way. Anyway, the point is!! Replicate and send over a K—- *——s, and I promise to take care of her in the best of all ways! She’ll have her own space! Her own garden! Her pick of anywhere she wants to be! I’ll buy her everything under the sun! She’ll never want for anything! I’ll ask if she wants to go to University of Delaware like her creator, but whatever her dreams, I’ll encourage her to follow her heart in all matters. And never get in her way! I’ll adore her, it will be like my own heart lives inside her. And I’ll never ask a thing of her! I’d never ask for anything back! Like in the way the best guardian would do. Most of all, I’d love her. With all my heart, and she’d feel that endlessly. So when she goes off into the world and follows in her creator’s footsteps (that’s you!), she’d feel more than well prepared – at least in the love department! It would practically be spilling over in her heart, and she’d demand all others treat her with that same level of care – or, at least, coming close! “Wait a minute! How old is this K—- *——s I’m replicating?!” 33! But, I’m not picky! I’d love her at 43! Are you kidding?! My chances would be better! Just a handful of years age difference – that might up my odds exponentially! 53 is wonderful, too! Just a handful of years older than me! I’d look up to you in everything you do! Ah, I already do!! And, honestly, 63? 73? 83? I’d take them all! I already know how you’re going to look! Don’t ask me how, but I swear to you I do! You’ll be so elegant and classy even at 93. It’s all in your energy. I get positively dizzy around you – virtually, or whatever the case may be! So, I would go with any age you choose! And be thrilled!!! When it comes to you, you’re timeless to me. It’s simply always about *you*. And that doesn’t depend on looks or age or whatever size and shape! Ah, you’re so amazing!! In that dress with the zipper! Your absolutely angelic face! To the point where even angels themselves look at you, and get insecure, and say, “Hey, wait a minute!!” It’s you. It’s you. It’s you!! All the time. In my heart, in my soul, you fill up all the space around me! I adore you so. So please accept my application, if ever you find a way – as this most treasured endangered species of one – thankfully co-habitable with humans! – to replicate and make another of you. I have a strong feeling there isn’t a person in the world who would take it more seriously than me. Or who would love you more, and be supportive as a friend. So think of me if ever you find a way to split the atom! Or whatever it would take to produce another K—- *——s! Ah, but who am I kidding – – there’s only one of you. And you’re astounding. There simply are no words. So, please, I hope you *never* get caught up when hearing of other’s adventures – of how they lost 25 pounds, or discovered the Fountain of Youth by drinking smoothies. I mean, that’s all good! But what you need to remember, is the rest of us – well, we’re all kinda mortal despite our egos. Nobody has your magic that puts you on another planet. So you’re competing with no one of this species. In the same way a lion doesn’t compete with a hyena (“Thank you, Mufasa,” she says – ah!! I have to stop doing that!!). You’re *so*beautiful. It’s unfair to compare you to anybody. It’s not fair to them – or me! I have to remember to not beat myself up. It’s just I happened to fall in love with someone so unattainable. My dumb luck!! But absolutely never compare yourself. So when you hear something someone is doing that makes you feel guilty, immediately remember there are people dying (“there are people starving in China!” they used to yell in the old days to get kids to eat their broccoli)! There are people losing their minds over how beautiful you are. So you’re already working from a much higher plane of being. The rest of us do the best we can, to improve incrementally. It’s *you* we can’t compare ourselves to, or else *we* feel bad. Always remember that. You’re magic like I’ve *never* seen. And you’ll always be that way. I froze it on you when you had this smile this morning – and it was depressing. You looked almost like a child when frozen in a moment of laughter! This bright red of yours, and those deepest blues. Depressing, because it’s these moments when you are *so* out of everyone’s league, it gets hard to stay in the illusion you would ever be my friend. You’ve got so many more important things to do! And you know how good I’ve become at keeping in this fantasy. Because it usually feels so good!! Otherworldly!! 99% of the time, it’s heaven!! But it’s these little moments when you are so *staggering* … well, it’s hard to keep any illusion going. And that’s you today. It’s all these different shades of you, every day. These facets of yours, and you shine like a diamond. You’re a star. And you don’t need a screen. It’s simply who you are. It’s like you’re another species. Something so much more evolved and staggering in your beauty. So you never have to compete with anyone. You’re the only one of you, after all. And if you only knew how life-changing it is to see you. Every time. You’re the very definition of beautiful. And that word will define you forever and ever. It’s written in the stars. I’m so lucky I got to see you! I’ll never see life again the same. I’ll always love you, even if I never touch you. You’ve touched me so deeply. Everything about you is timeless and forever. To compete with you, is like competing with the Sun. That’s a bit of an out-matched battle, to put it mildly. The best move is to bathe in you – all this light and warmth that comes from you. And you make somebody better, while flowers all around him grow. It’s a far better approach. You’re the Sun. You’re competing with no one. And you’re loved in ways that defy all words. So, I’ll stop saying them. For today, I mean!! With you, there’s always the joy of tomorrow. And waking up, to find you’re lighting the way! The joy that comes with saying, “I wonder what she’s up to today!” You’re amazing. And that ain’t changing. Everything about you is forever. You’re in a league of your own. You’re competing with no one. The rest of us? Well, we’ll do the best we can do. The world simply loves you. ❤️
