Unfolding the self

Unfolding ourselves. Each part of our bodies. Of our souls. Rage, pain and sadness coexist under our skin next to a myriad of other sensations. They never appear in a linear progression, but rather as a dance. A game of highs and lows that pushes us through life. Their effect spanning a day. Or a decade. At times, all at once. As we peel the threads in the tapestry of the self, we weave these emotions into a new fabric; our identity. To dive into our full inner spectrum is to embrace our humanity.
