From Amir Khalfani


We all seek to be loved, and to some extent, give our love to another. But in our attempts to seek out another, we fight to overcome ourselves--our inhibitions. A fragile shell encompassing our love, composed of secrets, lies and scarred memories, must not only be opened by ourselves, but penetrated by those whom we wish to give us love. We fight a war against ourselves to convince our ourselves that we will not be endangered, corrupted, or consumed by those whom we wish to be a part of us. In love, we must sacrifice protection from what we hold most sacred to seek out fulfillment. We must sacrifice an integral part of who we are for the possibility of another.
