Welcome home, Mae

And so I packed up my bags and left, not turning to look back. Didn't take much with me. Didn't want anything to do with my past. Just a few documents, clothes and some cash to survive. And one photograph in the heart-shaped silver pendant that hung around my neck. I left without saying goodbye. Not that there were any to give.

So I took the first flight out and left the town I'd always known. Where I had been my whole life. The only place I knew for sure. I moved to a new city. A big city. Where I could get lost in the sea of faces that walk it every single day. The thing about cities is that they're so full of life yet they lack life. They house people and families but they don't house a community. People say that the city is shallow. Materialistic and oblivious of reality. That cities lack a story. They lack character and depth of spirit.

But they don't. Cities simply hide stories well. Better than any town ever could.
Cities are full of stories. There's one in every corner, wearing a mask of ignorance so that it can skip the introductions and move on to a new oblivious kind of reality. Like one I seek. A new beginning. Where no story hangs over my head. A new truth.

I clutch the pendant around my neck and whisper, "Welcome home, Mae"

Wherever you are, it read.

The Immortal Marvel : Guest Post

Helloo again! Okay so me and Ice Maiden, my fellow blogger  (we had kinda coerced each other into starting blogging) were suddenly really fascinated with the idea of guest posts so we did one for each other's blogs. My first guest post, which is pretty great, is Ice Maiden's view about blogging and writing. Here it goes: Coherent ramblings in digital view, To old school-diaries we bid adieu. From wise-old sayings to crazy rants, Everything under the sun it has. From anger outbursts and paradise dreaming, To weepy poems and guilty confessing Here words gain a peculiar sophistication Even immoral shit is given due consideration Diverse opinions bonded as a family, Blogosphere functions with benedictions from the almighty A brilliant source to express in public, And venture out in the world, open ended. Eons of talent still waiting to be read To acceptance of great potential, they lead. Challenges on our threshold, such is our creed Ends with imaginary swagger, not gr...

Dream. Wish. Believe.

Hiiii :D The weird chick is back yet again? Hell, yeah! Why, though? I dunno! Who does?! Even God couldn't figure my head out. Hence, I was bestowed upon this earth. True story, bro. And yes, I'm that awesome. Today's inspiration isn't just one. The picture, the quote and a certain person's story together contribute for this post.  “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”  ― Robert Fulghum Yes, I still find unicorns the most majestic creatures ever. I still wish for a fairy god mother or a secret spirit guardian  I still wish for a Hogwarts letter. I would love to be a princess or one of Santa's cute little elf or some fantasy creature. I still wish I could fall down a hole and end up in Wonderland. I still wish I...

The Shadow

She's like a shadow. You feel her presence in the dark sometimes when you're scared of the too quiet house. Sometimes she's a little scary too. But are you scared? No, of course not. She's not there. Of course, she isn't. You're just being stupid. You're nervous because exams are around the corner. You're jittery because of all the caffeine you've ingested during the day.  You're just lonely and getting paranoid. Sometimes you're scared. Really scared because you know what she can do. Even though you know  she's not real. Of course, she isn't. Only stupid people believe those things. Only the weak fall for that crap and you are not weak, You're better than this. You deserve more than that. So you rise above it all. You work hard and win. You win  at everything because that's what you do, right? That's what better people do. They win. Of course, she's not watching you. She isn't there. She can't be now t...
