Lavender Raindrops
Lavender Raindrops
Prologue
There was a girl, standing under the tree. She had hair the color of storm clouds, a deep rich black, with light silvery grey strands in them. The only way you could see the unique coloring was only if she was under bright light, or if you managed to get close enough to her. From afar, she seemed to be a vision of perfection, with her long straight hair framing her face artfully. Though there was nothing fake about her. There was no make up on her face, for she didn't need it.
She had soft features, that suited her fine. Pale, milky skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight, almost magical. She had wide innocent eyes, that were a molten greenish blue, turquoise, to be exact. Perfectly shaped eyebrows, a small cute button nose and slightly pouty lips completed her beautiful face. Right now, she looked like a distressed princess, breathing heavily, her eyes clouded with tears and pain. The pain was raw, and it was easy to see that she was raging in an internal battle. With a final, heart breaking sob, she fell to the ground. Then as soon as she fell, she stood up, raising her head high to face the sky, as if she finally had accepted some inevitable challenge it had proclaimed on her. Her turquoise eyes flashed with determination as she wiped her tears away.
The scared princess from before was replaced with a warrior queen.
Her expression and stance never faltering, she took one step forward.
Emotional Whiplash
I could really use a wish right now...
How do you measure life? Can you equate every breath, every heart beat to something important? Do people use grand gestures to see how much in life they've accomplished? If I've published a book, does this mean my life was more important, or more well “lived” than someone who just read them instead? Life is more than living it with vigor and adventures. The small things in life counts. The simple pleasure of singing along to a song that you enjoy cannot be replaced. The love you feel when you hug someone, or the calm stillness of the night sky, each memory, thats what counts. Not flying off to see the wonders of the world. Make your own wonders. People tend to focus on how they can be remembered when they die. What they forget is that in trying to do something of such grandeur, that they miss out on the little moments that makes life amazing. I'm not exaggerating. Sure, it might be fun to climb a mountain, but what good is it, if you can't see the beauty of what's in front of you?
Don't take anything for granted.
