wolven7Last night, on twitter, I wrote, "# Some days I want to corrupt everything pure, defile everything good, and burn this whole world to the ground. And i want you to help.

You need to know that this is how i feel, all the time. The back and forth between the drive to corrupt/destroy and the need to enliven and enrich. They are the same urges, they are mirrors of each other, and they are simultaneous and equally me.
When I'm with friends, after a long week, and something starts to go wrong, I want to make it better, and I want to make it worse. I want to needle, and carve, and hold and comfort. I can usually make the expressions useful. But not always.
So now you know.
Anything you want to tell me?
