The day is beautiful. There is beauty everywhere. In blood and in water. Drink deeply.

Hannah, you know that I do not judge. You know that I do not judge you based on your actions. And whatever you decide to do, everything will be alright.

~Christian, before giving me a big hug

I love swimming. I'm not good at it, but I work it. I float and fight against the enemy who is also my friend. And she baptizes, cleanses and purifies until there is only me and her. And she consumes, loves me and touches me all over and I cannot escape. All that is left is the silence of the blue and my thoughts - the mermaids that shoot ahead, leaving only a stream of bubbles that evade my grasp.

Be free, and I will follow.
