Nocturnal animals...


I really wanted to be this person that you thought I was.


I'm not in search of sanctity, sacredness, purity; these things are found after we die, not in this life; but while I am on this journey I search to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love and to lust, to be so human that I am the envy of our gods themselves. All this I say because I believe that the desire to please you does in fact - please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. Solitude, my friend, this is for you.
