Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time,
Long, long ago....
There was this girl....

You see..
This girl wasn't anything special.
Warranted no special attention
And deserved absolutely nothing.

But one day....

Well.

Maybe it wasn't quite so long ago...

And that story doesn't have quite as happy an ending as it seems like it might.


You see...
That girl is me.

And try as I might, I rarely find the silver lining. I rarely see the bright side.

And why should I? I never get to have a happily ever after. I never get to just have a good day, week, year, lifetime, century, etc. etc. etc.


Le sigh.

Anyway.

I'm going to just listen to my Emilie Autumn and go on. Per usual.


Always,
Ophelia.


P.S., My darlings- Miss Lucy Had Some Leeches. Look it up.

Though, there may not always be a bright side dear one. You yourself are a lovely shining beacon who can be seen only if the person looking isn't blinded by their own selfish desires.

You are a beautiful and amazing soul light. Always have been and always will be.

Much love

Your celestial twin

Very true. There may not always be a bright side. Seems like that often enough.

You are sweet, Krista-dear. Sometimes, nice words are the best way to brighten a day.

I think, though, the only way I am going to be able to move out of this retched lull is after I get mad and/or upset by everything and/or everyone in my life. Then I could work to change things. I don't know though.

Hugs and thanks.
