Animal Within

That's why I don't drink or do drugs. Leave aside laws, religious prohibitions, social stigma and self-respect.

I'm afraid of who is inside me, what is inside me

Just don't do it

[thresherofmen]

I think so...

You think I should get to know myself, to see if I really have anything to be afraid of?

It's kind of even parts curiosity and fear for me. I mean, I've never been drunk, so I can't even tell you if I'm a light or heavyweight. It feels weird not knowing that about myself, you know?

I also hate being so... uptight with myself. Like, I hope that when I go to visit Alyssia this summer (you know, the author of ABF, lives in Ontario), and she offers me a drink or takes me to a party I don't have to turn down the hospitality.

Who knows, maybe she's right? Maybe one drink won't kill me or lead to anything bad. She's one of the few people I'd trust to lead me through that though...

Well, if you trust her then you don't have to be afraid. I'm sure she's responsible enough to make sure she doesn't put her guest in any danger or uncomfortable situation.

Yeah, because we all know there's two sides to everyone's soul, but that doesn't mean that the other side is Hannibal Lecter. If you can find a way to learn more about yourself without putting your body through any internal harm, then try it out. :)

Alice, I think you and Gaige are a perfect match! :) Seriously!
