There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin
choose to blossom
always do
risk the elements
it is in my nature
our nature
we are not so different
I can see your eyes in mine
my face in your face
my skin may be softer
but we split just the same
bleed just the same
consider the homunculus
life desires living
and acts accordingly
flailing about,
lighting fires,
planning escape into warm soil
We don't want to hide away, we want to live.
My recipe for living:
guts
careful planning
wild actions
self- preservation
healthy mental landscape
the will to live
is the will to love

I thought that quote was familiar.
