"the true self was the one you were everyday and no other. 
 there was no secret self waiting for you somewhere. 
 you were you. 
 that was it." 
 Henderson, S.


your love should never be offered to the
mouth of a stranger,
only to someone
who has the valor and daring
to cut pieces of their soul off with a knife
then weave them into a blanket
to protect you.

Hafiz
