So the Insomniac loves writing poems and sappy songs. The Insomniac even collects them along with short stories and other inspiring reading. That doesn?t mean that he's a wholesome person through and through. Meet Emyn Galad, a writer in her early 40's. Since this is a 'Confessions' blog and since I'm just keeping it true, I confess that I admire her writing and her views in life. It'll be proper, though, to let readers find out for themselves about what she writes about and who she is.

If you would look on the lower left-hand side of this blog-site, you'd notice I have added her 2005 blog on my Friendly Bloggers list. Her 2004 blog is located here. While her writing would definitely send blood rushing to certain body parts, her entries are undeniably intellectual and insightful that you get to learn something new with every read. It is proof that the brain indeed is the most powerful sexual organ.

I'd like to share a page from her book so here and I quote (highlights mine):

" 'the root of my frustration is that i've opened up myself
to pain and love and rejection in the hopes of finally starting to live.
so this is life? being rejected and ignored? alone and lonely?
not much different from when i didnt have a life.

" 'possible solution: live anyway. love anyway.
cry in the confines of my room. affirm my feelings.
never deny my feelings. accept my reality.
talk to francis. share with francis my joys and sorrows,
my failures and triumphs. share with him my everyday.

" 'live, anyway. and love, if only to affirm
that i am not a rock and i am not an island.
if only to let people know that i, too, can choose
to love and not to love. to turn the tables on the world.

" 'my life is not out of control. i am in control.'

I confess that the Insomniac is a sensual being. And there are a lot like me although some are either in-denial or haven't discovered / realized it yet.

*Oh, by the way, I just remembered I did give writing erotic literature a shot two years back. Maybe I'll post it here - someday, perhaps if the requests pour in *winks*
