I'm calling a halt to my numbered music postsI shall be indeed listening to music while I read and have the finest films in my collection playing but to share every single thing here is neurotic and to follow a strict programme is against the spirit of things, at times i'll need something that...

Do you want to run away with me?We can live half wild. Grow our own food. Dance around fire. Laugh and screw while the stars spin around us. I don't fit in the "real world" and I don't want to anymore. Could you do it? Could you give up your bubble to go be free?
Unconditional loveI'm having a trauma response to losing someone again, but that doesn't make them responsible in the slightest. I know the past few years have been really hard and I couldn't come out of it the same. I don't like some of the ways I've had to get by,... (...)
I can't keep trying with people who don't try back.In some twisted way I'm addicted to unavailability. I think it goes back to my childhood and needing to earn love and approval.
