I regret it. I love to sail; still do, but I will never not wish that I told Sasha she couldn't go and we both just stayed on shore.

[starryeye]

Maybe that's a flaw I have. You give me the choice between landing in one place and a chance, even in horrible circumstances, to get on a ship and go, I'll go every time.

I'm willing to run, but if I knew how I would act on that boat? That wouldn't have been worth the escape.

[starryeye]

I can understand that.

It speaks well of you, that you feel that way.

[alwayskayaking]

Coming from you? That means a lot to me.

I try not to let city bullshit get under my skin. Sometimes it does anyway and then I try to get over it.

[alwayskayaking]

Easier said than done, right? Or at least, I think that way.

[starryeye]

Sometimes, yes. I'm pretty good at it, most of the time. It's a skill I've had to develop in my life back home, but this place is so everything happening all the time I can imagine it would be hard to really develop it here.

[alwayskayaking]

Any tips you can offer?

[There's a pause while she thinks about it for a minute.]

Being fucked with isn't the same as being injured. Being injured isn't the same as being dominated. Being dominated isn't the same as being subjugated. Don't let them become each other.

[alwayskayaking]

I'll try to keep that in mind.
