The Maiden of the Linden Trees

Just a young dreamer who is trapped in tropical islands, longing for being in the North. Fascinated by Germanic/Nordic culture, medieval, Viking, mythology, and nature.

“Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque.”

— U.G. Krishnamurti

In Norse mythology, the Northern Lights were attributable to light flashing from the armour and shields of the Valkyries. These were Odin’s battle maidens riding upon winged horses whose task was to choose the most heroic of those who had died in battle and carry them off to Valhalla…

I am not meant for this world. I belong in a thick magical forest, filled with woodland elves, fairy rings, old oaks, werewolves howling at the moon, faeries dancing under waterfalls, and unicorns hidden away- only seen by nymphs. I want to live in a cottage surrounded by falling petals. I want fauns to play their flutes from willow trees. I want to hear the sound of dragons roaring through the sky. I want to make a garden for myself, and make a welcome sign to all the woodland creatures to my cottage of love and magic. I just want to live in a fairy tale and leave this world forever.

I don't see what's wrong with expressing raw emotion in a nondestructive manner. I don't see what's wrong with honestly showing your feeling. If only the world wants to do it more often, it will be easier to live here. I think the key to solve misunderstanding is to communicate honestly about our feelings. You love someone, tell them. You feel misunderstood, speak it. You miss someone, call them. You don't want someone to be near you anymore, let them know. Stop wasting your time wondering whether they feel the same or not, and especially stop wasting other people's time questioning what we feel towards them or what's wrong. It's very unfair.
