The revelation of my softness.
Read MoreAs you grow older, certain consequences are associated with sitting in the sun too long — and they tend to show up in the form of creases on your skin.

Read MorePain is a gift when eradicated. You uproot it and spit it out. It’s beautiful. You can’t eradicate your suffering where it was provoked. You drag it around and watch it like your shadow.
