the truth shall set you free

it's impossible to say a thing exactly the way it was, because what you say can never be exact, you always have to leave something out, there are too many parts, sides, crosscurrents, nuances; too many gestures, which could mean this or that, too many shapes which can never be fully described, too many flavors, in the air or on the tongue, half-colors, too many. -Margaret Atwood

this is exactly how i feel about my life. i have one friend, possibly two, who really know. the knowledge is both glorious and terrible, and sometimes the beauty is too much to bear alone. but when i am in the moment, when i know how beautiful the pain is, it is a comfort that someone outside of that moment can grasp its subtleties.
