If you do not understand yourself,

you do not understand anybody else. -Nikki Giovanni Excerpt from "as is": you can't hide behind social graces cuz i don't buy it like everyone else and you can lie in my face of all places just don't lie to yourself what bugs me is that you believe what you're saying what bothers me is that you don't know how you feel what scares me is that while you're telling me stories you actually believe that they are real -Ani DiFranco
