Transmuting trauma to pleasure. I’m the alchemist like Midas to gold, everything I touch is loved. To love and be loved is a luxury. When it’s done right, it feels rich like owning our weight in gold. We’re broke and broken without both. Only to love feels like gold without worth. To be loved, well, it feels like your worth gold but that’s about it. But I know how to make gold. I know how to make love.
