so unsatisfied (girl band)

"You hold a block of metal in your hand. And it's solid.
Yet within the metal there are molecules or atoms,
all moving by laws on their own.
Press a block of pure gold against a block of silver.
When you separate them they seem unchanged.
But a good physical chemist will show you
that where they have been in contact
invisible flecks of gold have wandered
across the barrier of structure
and buried themselves in the silver.
And atoms of silver,
somehow in the structure of the gold.

I think that when people are pressed close
they act the same way.
Part of you enters them, part of them enters you.
Long after you forget the names and the faces,
they are still a part of you.
Sometimes it's frightening to think
that every person you have ever hated,or feared,
or ran away from is part of you.
But so is every person you have ever learned from,
every friend you ever had."

--Theodore H. White
