Walking Fairy-Tale

I'm not the woman you see when you look at me. I'm not the girl you think I am. I'm wearing a mask, and this is who I am beneath the mask. Sometimes, we have our own dreams, and sometimes those dreams are born into flesh. I mostly post Steampunk, but I do have other interests. var sc_project=11066171; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_security="3359025a"; var scJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

Forget-me-nots (Myosotis scorpioides) Eternal memories “The best things in life are the people you’ve loved, the places you’ve seen, and the memories you’ve made along the way,” - Unknown

A day to meditate and remember the good and bad memories, resignification is the word on how to approach your story, and acknowledge everything you did to get where you are now. Maybe something or someone from the past shows up.

When the storm breaks, each man acts in accordance with his own nature. Some are dumb with terror. Some flee, some hide. And some spread their wings like eagles and soar on the wind.

when héloïse in portrait of a lady on fire asked ‘do all lovers feel as though they’re inventing something?’ 

and when sarah ruhl said ‘there was once a very great american surgeon named halsted. he was married to a nurse. he loved her-immeasurably. one day halsted noticed that his wife’s hands were chapped and red when she came back from surgery. and so he invented rubber gloves. for her. it is one of the great love stories in medicine. the difference between inspired medicine and uninspired medicine is love. when i met ana i knew: i loved her to the point of invention.’

and when yehuda amichai said ‘we were such a good and loving invention. an airplane made from a man and wife. wings and everything. we hovered a little above the earth. we even flew a little.’
