How can you be surrounded by people and feel so alone? I have been so terrified of being alone that it is all I think about… it consumes me. How to satisfy this seemingly insatiable hunger? I have felt so much in the past year; like an over-ripened grape that is about to burst and then what? Skin and mush and juice. How to make my heart stop swelling and my mind, clearer? How to take away the fright and the dread and the loneliness that dwell in me and change them into courage? I just want to be brave. And to feel loved.
