I feel closer to some people here at Pixies than I do to some of my blood relatives. I think it's the dynamic of the site. I'm sure it's been discussed on a thread or in private, but it's ironic how anonymity actually leads to closer ties. I wonder what it would be like if we were as comfortable opening up in person as we are online.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
