The Integrity of Your Substance
I am not your therapist. I am your lover.
Your vulnerability does not express your affection, more your dependence.
Rely on me to defend and exalt your name above all others, to you and to everyone. Do not anticipate my compliance in your self-deprecation. I recognize no flaw in you.
Your revisionist self is an elusive ideal. By nature, you have been molded, but you can mold yourself. If you feel that your expression is not genuine, make adjustments. If your communication is unsuccessful, you have to adapt your conversation to effectively communicate your ideas, desires, and experiences. Not everyone’s experience is the same, but you communicate your own, attempting to justify your existence.
Only be careful not to sacrifice the integrity of your substance.
Come to me confident, understanding you must know your motivations and be prepared to declare your intentions - as yourself.
I want what you want: to answer questions of belonging, purpose, right action, justice, individual liberty, social responsibility, gender and its communication, sexuality, consciousness - for you to determine the shape of your own future, whatever that shape may be.
Consider what you believe and the foundation for your belief.
What values do you hold dear?
And what traditions will you surrender?
