"and now its so hard to have faith in anything-especially your next bold move-the next thing you're gonna need to prove to yourself." ~ani difranco

he asked me last night if i was afraid. i told him i was.

he asked me what i was afraid of and i answered as best i could, trying to put names to the monsters that are disturbing both my waking and few sleeping hours. i'm not afraid of him or the situation we are moving towards...i'm afraid of so many other things. there are Bills and Deposits and Fees and Possibilities and Impossibilities and Deadlines and no alternate plans to put me at ease; there are no weapons to fend my thin-skinned fragility against them. i am thin skinned.

and all this time i thought i was ready for everything.

all this time i've thought myself so brave.
