Heartbreak - Dedication

To my friends and family:
Thank you.
You loved me when I didn’t know how to love myself.
You held the pieces without asking for explanations,
and reminded me, gently and fiercely, who I was.
This book may be about heartbreak —
but it’s also about how your love put me back together.

To the one who hurt me:
Thank you. You didn’t love me — but you handed me the pen.
From what you broke, I built this.
In that sense, this book is yours too.
Thanks for the material.
Enjoy the spotlight, boy.
