Illustrating the walls of the world. ::Sigh::
Turn into me, away.
I walked on.
So far away, that whenst I turned again…
The world was but a fragment of what I’d once understood.
Mocking smiles, jeering eyes and silver tounges.
They all await me to step out of turn.
For to capture fault is another’s greatest victory.
Though I choose to be wise. If that’s its daring name.
Stepping back. so far, that no eyes can see inward.
Nearest to the shadows where no injury can be had.
Tell me what you know.
Of risking and jumping and trying again.
Tell me.
And I will tell you, that you are a fool.
I’ll bide my time. Here. In the dark
For now, where it’s safe.
And pray the shadows will not consume my heart.
TWIstINg me into something of foreign substance.
That which the mirror cannot comprehend.
Time…
A curious storyteller.
tumblrbot asked: WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?
Music.
A quote, a visual, once gone unnoticed, now seen with new meaning.
Such can be simple as a generous smile.
“Happiness is a state of mind, not being”
Nothing ever looks the same….twice.
Little Women was on tele just the other day. Having not watched it since I was much younger, and being unable to fall back asleep—my eyes drifted to the television constantly. It’s rather funny, I find, that we watch mediocrity simplybecause there is nothing else to sate our palette. After all Winona Ryder is NOT a gifted actress. Though she is intelligent to some extent, deliberative in her ways. She brings the bacon home, regardless of mass opinion. Susan Sarandon on the other hand captures me completely.
Perhaps it was in watching this movie that I thought such lackluster would surely coerce my eyes to lid. Instead….I discovered each word from Marmee March’s lips was well thought. She was a calculated woman, careful in how she spoke and giving with each lesson she had learned earlier in her years. Her perspective is one to be admired…or should I say that of Alcott’s.
The film, as a whole, depicted family and friends showing unconditional love for one another.
And as Jo remarks offhandedly to Meg’s love interest by saying ”But he’s dull as powder, couldn’t you marry someone more amusing? Not to mention poor!”
Their mother replies with what has become one of my favorite quotes:
“Money is a needful and precious thing,—and, when well used, a noble thing,—but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I’d rather see you poor men’s wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.”
-Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
This is probably the 17th time I’ve seen the movie in my life….yet only now such words have an intense impact on my perspective. In a world of feigning smiles and materialistic ways, such words of strength are very refreshing.
