i am made of gold and stone

we compare one another to suns & moons & name our sons & daughters after months & seasons & yet we still wonder why people come & go

“Right –.. I just don’t want to go out, alright?”

❝ Awww, okay. Is everything alright? ❞

“You’ve never been to a real beach? How have you lived?! I grew up in Florida, it seems like all I ever did was go to the beach.”

❝ We had beaches in jersey, but I never had any friends to go with. ❞

“ —…I’m a walking miracle? I have some sort of transparent protective suit? Are any of these working on you?”

❝ Not even slightly, sorry. ❞

“Exactly, snowboarding and surfing are the exact same thing. One just happens to be on snow and the other on water.”

❝ Exactly! I’ll grab my stuff and meet you at the beach? ❞

“Well I know how to snowboard, but I really do think that it’s the same concept.

❝ Close enough! It’s worth a shot, right? Lets do it! ❞

“Seriously? Then again, I suppose Rome isn’t such a bad place to run off to. Sorry to hear about your friend, though - she sounds like a dick.”

❝ I’d love to go one day, but I doubt I’ll ever get there. Eh, I’m used to it. She runs off with boys all the time. She’s that girl you hear about from a friend of a friend who gets married to a guy after a month and gives him all of her money, only for him to disappear. ❞

   “We were in Colorodao. Aspen, to be exact. Very cold, very snowy, not quite my idea of a good time. This, however, makes up for all the time spent there.”

❝ Oh ew! How could anyone think that’s fun? ❞

“I have. Multiple times and I still don’t see what’s so great about them. I mean, I guess they’re okay, but they’re not really the best places, in my opinion. Can’t you find someone else to go with? I was hoping to just stay inside and watch movies.”

❝ We had beaches in Jersey, but I was never able to go because I didn’t have any friends to go with. I mean, I guess I could go alone, but it’s not as fun.  ❞

“That’s very sweet of you. I hope that someday i’m just as cool as Queen Victoria.”

❝ I think you already are. ❞

“Well it’s very pretty, I’m actually pretty jealous of your name. Compared to your name Victoria sounds really stupid.”

❝ Victoria was a beautiful and strong queen. I think it’s the perfect name for you. ❞

“That’s actually cool that the military only cares about your skills and nothing else. You have 67 sisters? Lord that is a lot of sisters. I’ve hurt too many people to not try and make up for it, hurting people wasn’t what I wanted to do so yeah I go out of my way to try and be nice to everyone, it’s just easier that way on me and everyone around me.”

❝ It really is. Besides, I’ll be the first person from home to ever join the military! Technically, yes. I was raised in Saint Claire of Assisi’s Girls Home. They adopted girls that the Jersey foster system didn’t want or couldn’t take in. Since they actually adopted us, legally we were all sisters. I don’t mind though, because instead of throwing you out on the street at 18, they let you stay as long as you need. I’m sorry that you’ve hurt people, but everyone makes mistakes. It’s how you handle it that determines the type of person you are. And it seems to me that you’re handling it well. ❞

“You want to work on military helicopters? That’s actually the coolest thing i’ve ever heard. I have three older siblings, two brothers and one sister, they were like built in friends/enemies. I just try to do right by everyone else so that I don’t end up hurting someone, last thing I want to do is hurt any more people than I already have.”

❝ I could have worked for a private firm, but I love the idea that in the military, nothing matters but your skills. No one cares what you look like or where you come from. Legally I have 67 sisters, but none of them were really sisterly, except one. Biolgically, though, I’m an only child, to my knowledge. I completely understand that. I hate the idea of hurting someone. People have enough crap to deal with, I don’t want to make things any harder on people. ❞

“Well I like the name Tali'Zorah. It’s pretty uncommon, at least in Louisiana. I look forward to it, i’ll be waiting!”

❝ It’s pretty uncommon everywhere. I’m pretty sure my parents made it up. Or maybe they just switched my birth certificate by mistake and my name is really like, Linda or something. ❞

“I only hopped on the trip about a week ago, so this is pretty new for me too. What are you doing here? Just in need of a break from reality?”

❝ One of the girls I grew up with insisted I come with her, said I was too boring, but then she met a guy in the airport on the way here and left with him to Rome. I had already deferred a semester, so I figured I’d actually come. ❞

“You have never? Oh you poor thing how terrible this is to hear. I would love to see the beach. The crabs… they are bothers.”

❝ Never! We had them in Jersey, but I had no one to go with. But they’re so cute! One of the other girls had one as a pet that she saved from the beach back home, it was adorable! ❞

“Did you enjoy majoring in Aerospace? Oh trust me, everyone would be jealous of how cool your sand hole is. Yeah they are, they raised a good bunch of kids. I try to be, might as well pick up the nice for every rude guy out there huh?”

❝ Surprisingly, I did. It taught me that I want to work for the military on their helicopters. I hope you’re right, I’ll have to try it sometime. How many siblings do you have? That’s an awful lot of weight on your shoulder. You’re not responsible for them! Just be the best person you can be, for you. ❞
