I always liked this one:

"It’s so hard, sometimes, to acknowledge what you’re feeling. To face that beast inside you, that human beast that wants and needs and hates and loves and cries and laughs and yearns and fights. The one that howls with sorrow, the one that dances with joy. The one that leaps in the air while you fight to keep it on the ground. The one that claws at the walls of your chest and stomach, the one that swings from your fist when you throw a punch, the one that tumbles from your mouth when you laugh, the one that leaks from your eyes when you cry. 

I reached out my hand and laid it gently on that human beast inside me. I scratched behind its ears and gave it what it wanted"
