For Alex Supertramp

I watched Into the Wild today.
My god what a beautiful movie that is.
Alex Supertramp is a legend.
He is the definition of purity, truth and courage.
I admire him.
Sometimes I feel like Alex Supertramp.
Sometimes I want just want to run.
I want to run somewhere beautiful.
I want to run somewhere full of truth,
away from all of this corruption.
I want to run past all of the expectations,
past all of the disappointments,
past all of the lies,
past all of the past
..and I want to look them all in the eyes,
then I want to never think of them again.
But then.. then I think of her.
I think of the goddess.
She changes everything.
I would never leave her.
She's coming today. This makes my stomach lurch.
She saves me from this broken world.
Everyday.
And for that, I will love her 'til I no longer am capable.
Bon Iver is serenading me.
Bon Iver has changed me.
