I used to witness a lot of foxes on and around Bristol Downs, coming and going through grasslands and streets alike.

What I Mean When I Say I'm Tired I don't mean I want to sleep. I mean I want to disappear for a while. To be rain on a stranger's roof. To be smoke rising from someone else's fire. I don't want to die. But I do want to rest in a way the world has never allowed me. I don't want comfort. I want quiet. I want the mercy of being unseen without being unloved.

What I Mean When I Say I'm Tired ~ K.E. Sermonté

"I want quiet.
I want the mercy of being unseen
without being unloved."
