"Perhaps we don’t like what we see: our hips, our loss of hair, our
shoe size, our dimples, our knuckles too big, our eating habits, our
disposition. We have disclosed these things in secret, likes and
dislikes, behind doors with locks, our lonely rooms, our messy desks,
our empty hearts, our sudden bursts of energy, our sudden bouts of
depression. Don’t worry. Put away your mirrors and your beauty magazines
and your books on tape. There is someone right here who knows you more
than you do, who is making room on the couch, who is fixing a meal, who
is putting on your favorite record, who is listening intently to what
you have to say, who is standing there with you, face to face, hand to
hand, eye to eye, mouth to mouth. There is no space left uncovered. This
is where you belong."
Sufjan Stevens
