It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.

---

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. I see in you that part of me which is you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness.

Don't let one cloud obliterate the whole sky.

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

---

The only transformer and alchemist that turns everything into gold is love. The only magic against death, aging, ordinary life, is love.

---

I want to love you wildly. I don’t want words, but inarticulate cries, meaningless, from the bottom of my most primitive being, that flow from my belly like honey. A piercing joy, that leaves me empty, conquered, silenced.

---

The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
