Rating this writing is entirely against its entire point however I need to express in some capacity the effect that reading this has just had on me so a 5 star representation will do.

"Although the distance between one and two is finite, it contains infinite fractions. This could also be said of the distance between my mind and my body. My one and my two. My whole and its parts."
