Connecting the dots.

You look into the mirror and see a face staring back at you. It mocks your every move. It could even talk back to you, if you tried.

I puzzle what I see looking back at me. I see beauty and caramel coated skin, but if I look deep within the soul I see pain and confusion. This girl has so much potential but she doesn't know which path to follow. In her mind she pictures herself in Manhattan, pursuing her dreams as a Journalist, drinking Chai, and reading great novels. She wants her significant other to love her just as much as she loves him. She wishes her mother hadn't forsaken her. She pursues a dream to change the world with her inner peace and dreams.  

My hero.

Garden of loyalty.

If I had my own world, it would be a place that is magical. Full of light and color. People would have wings. Violence would not exist. Happiness and joy would fill the hearts of the people. Fairies and mermaids would be common. Death would never be known. Heaven on earth this place would be. Where everything was living, not a weed in sight. Mother Nature would bring only light breezes, light rain, and light snow. Danger was not known. Animals were friends to the people. They were not a source of food. The people only ate fruits, vegetables, grains, fresh water, and milk from the cows. Life was simple and graceful.
