with every atom and star
moving in perfect alignment
to make you, you."

"I’m free, no matter what rules
surround me.
If I find them tolerable,
I tolerate them;
if I find them too obnoxious,
I break them.
I am free because
I know that
I alone am morally
responsible for
everything I do."

"Be softDo not let the world
make you hard
Do not let the pain
make you hate
Do not let the bitterness
steal your sweetness
Take pride that
even though
the rest of the world
may disagree
you believe it to be
a beautiful place"

–Iain S. Thomas
