"Often I hear people who have been away from home for too long being told that the only thing drawing them back to their own beds is the need to take possession of their own roots, to evicerate the earth and reappropriate their roots. Roots? What the ******** kind of roots are they talking about? We aren't trees; we're human beings - human beings who have sprung from a seed and remain seeds for all eternity. If anything, the only place we have ever put down roots is in the womb.And, if one day I want to return back to my origins, if I want to eat my roots, I'll just have to rip open your belly, climb in with my whole body, and bind myself to you with a cord that is nothing but fiction now.
But it wouldn't do me any good. I want to go on being a seed. I want to be my origin and my end., and I don't want to rot in the ground, any ground; I want the wind to carry me forever. I don't want ordered spaces."

I don't know what it is. I picked up Melissa P's books on a whim. The cover of her second book "The Scent of Your Breath" was what grabbed my attention at first. Yes, I'm one of these weird people that judges books by their covers. Or their titles. I pick up a book that looks like it might be interesting to me. But anyways, when I found out that there was a prequel book to this one, I decided that it would be in my best interest to pick up the first one too. Little did I know that her books are considered "erotica". Normally, I'd shy away from those books, but for some reason, the story was compelling enough to give me just cause to allow myself to get them.
I'm overly glad that I did.
Everything was so lovely. Her phrasing, her deep looks at the life she was living. It was more a story about how she had transformed herself into a whore by the age of 16. And how a sudden longing to feel loved helped her begin to straighten out her life. It really inspired me. While I might not be a whore in any sense, I admire her bravity to scrutinize herself and not hold back. She's completely honest when she speaks to herself. She knows every flaw and figures out ways to fix herself to make herself happy like she used to be.
That's what I want.
Call me crazy. But I'm really feeling inspired right now...I want to do something as well.
I want to help change someone's life. And I want to save my own.
