021: Not Going Home

[livingmyths]

I was just heading home when I read that there had been an attack in the forest and everyone should be careful, so I thought maybe I better not go home.

Just telling people so no one will be worried. I'll stay in the Library or maybe up on the roof so I'm still with the stars.

I found a dead hummingbird today. It kind of makes me worried because hummingbirds are sort of magical, you know? They bring open hearts and joy and help create families and the death of one - well that kind of suggests sadness and grief and the closing off of hearts and that Bad Things are coming.

I set it out carefully on a bed of leaves and left a red flower by it so it would be comfortable as it moves on and sang to it, but I still feel sad.

I might have to go take a look at that then.

You should probably stay in because you don't want to get hurt.

I've been hurt a lot. I try to be smart about it, but sometimes it's just the way life is.

But I never really had anybody who cared much about me before so I need to think about them and how much they'd worry.

That's lots more important to me.

I know what you mean.

That's very kind of you to do that.

I don't know that it's kind. It just seems the right thing to do, you know? I don't want them upset or anything.

[scaresthedark.livejournal.com]

I think that falls under the category of kind.

Well... I guess, then maybe.

I sort of mostly don't think about myself that way. I just try to be a good person and nice, you know?
