October, 1935: Living Intensely

Anais Nin is one of those people who works hard and plays hard. She wants to live out her dreams and fantasies and fill her life with people, travel, action, work, creation, and enormous adventures, even if it means having a shorter life. She wants no ordinary life. She wants money, which means freedom to her. She wants luxury -- perfume, pedicures, sweet and beautiful things, which help her to dream. She wants to go to London and Venice and India.She wants to be energetic and alive.
