'I’m 50 years old, and looking back at my childhood, I don’t remember ever really witnessing those types of relationships. And I believe you’re correct—it’s a new way of living to have that complete wholeness. When I meditate and pray a lot, it’s always like we are one. And so much of the patriarchy system and religion have never given us a chance to really find who we truly are. And I love what you said about the love for ourselves. That inner union has to come first.'

'I realized there was a point where it’s like, I can’t hold this anymore, and I can’t be this strong man who can just carry everything like I’m supposed to be. I feel like I’m going to die. Like I feel like I am dying. And if I don’t let this out, I think I might lose it.'

'When I asked Melissa to hold me while I shattered so that I could fully express what was going on in me, she responded exactly like I wanted her to. She didn’t say anything. We just got into comfy clothes, got on my big bed, and I just started crying and she just held me. That’s it. She just held me, didn’t share anything. She had her own experiences, that’s fine, but she just allowed me to be safe. And when I felt that, that allowed me to do something even bigger.'
