My life belongs to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore, I will love who I want, leave who I want, not talk to whoever I don't want to, speak my mind, be silent when I don't think it's worth saying, cry when I am sad, laugh loudly, walk away when I think the time is right, decide who and what is a waste of time, know what I am worth, remember where I came from, and if I don't know where I am going.....it has nothing to do with anyone but me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you have already borne the pain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.</div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> ~Jim Butcher</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When you look upon another human being and feel great love toward them, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">or when you contemplate beauty in nature </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and something within you responds deeply to it,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">close your eyes for a moment and feel the essence of that love </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">or that beauty within you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">inseperable from who you are, your true nature.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-size: large;">She gave her husband such a night of sexual pleasure </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that his eyes followed her constantly after that, narrow and hot.</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He grew molten when she passed near other men, </span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and at night they made their own shaking tent.</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They got teased too much and moved farther off, into the brush,</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">into the nesting ground of shy and holy loons.</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There, no one could hear them.</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In solitude they made love until they became gaunt and hungry,</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-size: large;">pale windigos with aching eyes, tongues of flame.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">We danced too wild, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">and we sang too long,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"> and we hugged too hard,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"> and we kissed too sweet, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">and howled just as loud as we wanted to howl, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">because by now we were all old enough to know</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"> that what looks like crazy on an ordinary day</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"> looks a lot like love if you catch it in the moonlight.” </span><br />
