When I'm with him, I can feel myself getting better. It's like he's picking up broken pieces of me and putting me back together, and I don't even know he's doing it. We never talk about it. We don't go to therapy. He just loves me and that's enough. ↗

Why don't you compare me to Sally Jessy Raphael? ↗

I've been very influenced by folklore, fairy tales, and folk ballads, so I love all the classic works based on these things -- like George Macdonald's 19th century fairy stories, the fairy poetry of W.B. Yeats, and Sylvia Townsend Warner's splendid book The Kingdoms of Elfin. (I think that particular book of hers wasn't published until the 1970s, not long before her death, but she was an English writer popular in the middle decades of the 20th century.) I'm also a big Pre-Raphaelite fan, so I love William Morris' early fantasy novels. Oh, and "Lud-in-the-Mist" by Hope Mirrlees (Neil Gaiman is a big fan of that one too), and I could go on and on but I won't! ↗

Somehow the idea of Montgomery as a fairy doesn't have the same effect on me as it appears to have on you. -Raphael ↗

I liked the name Saadiq and didn't want to be known as an artist as Raphael Wiggins. ↗

You can see where it was, years ago. Like an old woman who was once beautiful, but time has taken her beauty away. ↗

Under her palm, his heart beat strong and sure. It was such a human sound, so honest, so real. ↗
