 Dear Reader,

 Today was filled with many things, though not quite sailing ships or sealing wax. But what it did have were memories. It rained, the wind blew, the sun returned, the world was bright. The sunset elegant, and not overbright. The clouds filling the sky, and a wispy half moon appeared. Music that fill the air for hours, and sunshine that blazed for summer. Friends to laugh and talk with, and making new ones too. Meeting acquaintances and getting to know each other better. Dancing with the crowd as the bands played. Catching a CD when holding your hand in the air for loving the band. High-fiving band members as they dance with the crowd to either wait for their turn, or just enjoying the moment after having sung their piece. Laughing and dancing, and loving it all. Oh my dear new hometown and my new friends, how I love you all. You make me feel welcome, you started by holding me dear. A precious moment when you simply acknowledged me, it will stay with me for eternity. To know you all is to be blessed, and I bless you all in return. You have helped me on, and helped me to grow. I may be new, I may be young, I may not know anyone, but I took a breath, I opened my eyes, stepped one foot forward, and met hands in reply. I held mine close, but not yet unyielding, but suddenly rushed, when shown to new feelings. I have many friends, and I am blessed. But if you only knew, that in return, I also bless you.

To all of my friends, who have made me feel whole again, I thank you.


-Mae

A daily life

Or a day in life, both are correct when you think about it.  So a number of things are already happening today, and other things being planned on getting done today. But for now, as far as things have happened already today: Tai Chi, calculated my bedroom to see if I could survive living in a Japanese sized apartment (Which I could), got excited about re-hydrating myself (constant state of dehydration, you're going down.) to the point where I've given myself a painful case of the hiccups, and looked at some old family photos.  As far as what else is planned for today: Painting, eating lunch, some school I guess if I can actually grasp any of it, and getting rid of these hiccups!!  So apparently the average size of a Japanese apartment is around 1,300 sq. ft. My bedroom is (rounded up) 259 sq. ft. Yes, I have a very large room, but to be fair I've got it essentially set up as an ultra mini apartment, and could probably very happily live in something just as big. Just...

Villains

What do you think makes a villain a villain? A question proposed by a friend over on NaNoWriMo, Leila offered a question that made me realize, that I might have a very complicated, yet possibly not all that hard to grasp, idea on what a villain actually is, and is not.  A villain needs to be lots of things all wrapped up into one, and often times not everything all at once. A villain is usually someone who has at least one keystone to their personality that either rivals, or is the protagonists fear and/or vice. For instance, two of my own characters from a novel I did in 2014.   V will be villain, P will be protagonist. V1: I am suave, I offer compliments and disguise my observations as questions to gain more information. As well as being versed in the language of the country I am in, my main goal is to operate in the shadows and go as unnoticed as possible, unless I see my spotlight waning. P1: I can do away with superfluous comments or manners, I will ask d...

By the grace of God

 It is only by the grace of God that I am still standing here on this earth. It is only by the grace of God that I draw breath, and am whole. Everything I am, is by the Grace of God.  Two years ago, a part of my life started that would not end for a long time, and is in some ways still ongoing.  Two years ago, in 2014, unknowingly began what I would now call the year of hell.  I was a bystander to verbal abuse and hate. I lived in close quarters with people that I became to be afraid of, and did not speak up. I hid, and I tried to hide in ways that never really worked, but have now become habits that are hard to break.  I kept silent during the calms, for fear that a wrong word would stir up a storm from a simple disagreement.  I often took to walking to a friends house just down the road, to see if they were outside and could hang out for a while. And to my knowledge they still don't know what transpired.  It is only by the grace of God that I ...
