Besides, it's not truly possible to love Brian and Justin as they were given to us without loving the people they loved. They were their family. To reject that is to reject them, and reduce them to paper dolls you can move around to please you because they're pretty. And that just bores the crap out of me. If that's what Brian and Justin were to me... well, I wouldn't be here, that's all.
AGREED x a thousand OMG. That is a sentiment I've had for a long time but have never been able to word very adequately.
