Every person you let into your life takes away a part of your soul. Occasionally you get it back; mostly it is consumed, feeding the beast we raise and nurture, spiritual forerunner of the Alsatians that will eat our flesh when we die alone.

Always love how this tower that looks like a random part of the amusements is actually one of the oldest buildings in Porty.

When you’re about to put pen to paper on something new. Exhilaration and trepidation. The feeling of stepping into cold water, of meeting for a first date, of opening the door to a new adventure. Wish me luck.
