Merriam is telling us how unique we are. She is also comparing her prints with her feelings, she is the only one possessing them and the only one able to understand the way she feels. Merriam says that her signature or personality like a print leaves a memory behind according to the style that characterizes her. In my universe key, my singularity she is making a connection between her uniqueness and her power to affect others. In line 15 Eve emphasizes that the most important part is her (or our) interior self. Lines 16-18 we are responsible for our emotions and state of mind and are not imposed by others.
