I can choose. I have to choose. I have to make my mind up whom I will take into my arms, to whom I will lose myself, whom I will treat as that vis-a-vis, that face into which I look, which I lovingly touch with my fingering gaze, from whom I accept being who I am as a gift.
The worst thing to call someone is crazy. It’s dismissive. I don’t understand this person, so they’re crazy. That’s bullshit, because people are not crazy. They’re strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick.
