“self-love… the most delicate intimacy it's so delicate here. but it's where i'm the most brutal. it's where my raging gets careless, and the delicate things end up crushed. i fight my hardest fights trying to love the deepest love, but i've never been more unkind than i've been in these close quarters. but what if this ache in me is also the fight in me to learn to feel differently. because somewhere deep inside i know that i want to be delicate here… desperately. and there's a tenderness that i'm made of and an intimacy that i'm part of… one that i'm going to learn to take such delicate care of.” — butterflies rising
