A Sudden Inspiration

hello blog

i had a sudden rush of inspiration to start a blog. i used to think that a blog was pointless because thoughts are meant to be kept private, and that if i were to share those thoughts freely with other people, then it would be akin to losing a part of myself each time. blogs felt like an oxymoron and to some extent, they still do.

but screw with all the ramblings and get down with the writing. i hope to use this blog as a platform for a release of the pent up thoughts gathered in the crevices of thy mind. some posts may be unpleasant, but i am entitled to my own thoughts, and whoever feels offended may do themselves a favour and simply look away. you cannot seek to please everyone, so i might as well please myself. also, you cannot explain to all the fools in the world. perhaps i am a fool for saying this.

it's not all gloom and sadness. i hope. but i cannot believe that a person who has seen much, read much, studied much and reflected much to not be a little solemn and a little introverted.

there is much comfort one can seek in the solace of books. books are more predictable than the frivolities of human emotions. a good fantasy novel lights up my day. i feel like i'm transported to a world of magic and adventure, free to wander and roam and be unbound by dogma and tradition. what i would give to be a boy lost in a foreign land, seeking a sword and having a dragon as a companion and defeating enemies and winning the fair maiden. needless to say, that fair maiden would have long flowing luscious hair as dark as midsummer night; eyes that bespoke deep understanding and love; would be steadfast in staying by the hero's side for all eternity. perfect. this is too much to ask for? maybe in the harsh realities of the real world, but not in the fairytale of a novel. whence may thy happy ending arriveth?

o fair maiden, where art thou?
