"What terrifies you?"
To be touched.

But you cannot die, Isa. Some of us are nocturnal things, blossoming most completely by the light of the moon. Just as without the moonbeams we do not flourish, the moonbeams would inherently not exist without eyes to mark its existence. It is a cycle of loving, sharing, touching and existing.

Don't worry. I have no intention of dying - just a lot of pain I needed to purge. I feel better now, and I love what you had to say about the moon.

It is just as important. Some people are afraid of the dark, but some thrive in it ( ... )

And that's a good point, about the temporality of the world. I had forgotten about that completely in my great emotional purging.
I do try to take myself over. I'm not keen on the idea of belonging to anyone but myself, although I viwe giving myself to someone (emotionally or what have you) as an entirely different matter. I am much cheered up.
