"I have an understanding that Love is acceptance, that is my belief, but to be faced with reasons to put that belief into practice is a very different thing."

"I started to think, how freeing it must be to just outwardly express your fears, your needs."

"I think I’m okay with all of that. Not that that would be my response to the question 'who are you?', but that is what would be the most true."
