In a strand of your hair. The calluses on your hand.

Everything is a self-portrait. A diary. Your whole drug history’s in a strand of your hair. Your fingernails. The forensic details. The lining of your stomach is a document. The calluses on your hand tell all your secrets. Your teeth give you away. Your accent. The wrinkles around your mouth and eyes. Everything you do shows your hand.

  6. No matter how much we try to hide it. We get white spots on our nails if we’re missing certain minerals, wrinkles in our skin if we aren’t hydrated. In many ways, we are like an open book.
