Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.”

Ever changing. Undefinable. So do not give me limits or make me try to fit. There is no containing subtle softness careening into the harsh and dominant, every faucet creating a reaction which will cause you to feel and know you are alive." - Kendal Waller”

All I have is the awareness of my condition, my misery.”
