Fear
I'm scared.
There's a burning fire within my chest. I've been there before--it's the fire of freedom. Only that this time it's different: it's not the load of the past I'm carrying, but the weight of the future. I've been used to darkness for so many ages, I no longer know how to cope with light; my eyes, and all of my body need a period of adjustment. My skin will breathe for the first time, it will be exposed to the rays of the sun without getting cooked; my heart will unleash and love the way it always dreamed of; my hands will be free to caress my own spirit, to touch the other's, to caress their minds; my mouth will taste the freshness of the air and suck it in for once in a lifetime. It is a new journey towards a new home. A little bit harder, for it's never been so close; a little bit up north, but it's all mine. I'm ready.
Just write, Laura, write!
Have a cup of tea, skype, watch the Taiwanese film you were watching during your unsettling morning. Close your eyes, roll up in bed, and rest. Good night, my love, tomorrow it should be a nice day.
