“Reading poetry is like undressing before a bath. You don't undress out of fear that your clothes will become wet. You undress because you want the water to touch you. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feeling of the water and to emerge anew.”

About this quote
In a world where we are often taught to build walls and wear armor to protect ourselves from pain, Kamand Kojouri reminds us that true growth requires the courage to be vulnerable. Just as we shed our clothes to feel the warmth of a bath, we must be willing to strip away our ego, our fears, and our social masks to truly experience the richness of life. When we stop guarding our hearts and start opening them, we allow the raw, unfiltered beauty of existence to wash over us, cleansing the spirit and softening the edges of our weariness. Embracing this vulnerability is not an act of weakness, but a profound act of bravery. To 'undress' emotionally means allowing yourself to be seen, to be felt, and to be moved by the world around you. Whether through poetry, art, or deep human connection, the act of surrender is where healing begins. By letting go of the need for protection, we create space for transformation, allowing us to emerge from our experiences not just as survivors, but as renewed versions of ourselves, refreshed and awakened to the magic of being alive.
