MiNdLeSs MiSsIoNs….
In this never-ending conquest to blatantly ignore life, I have yet again sought out a new avenue in which to lull myself into
a sense of false bliss. Donning my virtual gowns of silk and taffeta, I waltz my way through page by page of romantic claptrap. Nothing could be a more perfect distraction, especially for one who revels in love that doesn’t involve oneself (not out of choice, mind). The heroes are always of exceptional quality; handsome, intelligent, rich and with just the right dose of anger, jealousy and possessiveness thrown in. What more could a girl ask for? Then while i am still swooning from hero number 1’s daring rescue of his heroine, i sail off to join hero number 2 in his quest to win heroine number 2’s hand. Never leaving enough space for reality to seep inbetween the cracks, for if this unthinkable thing should occur, i would misstep in this perfectly orchestrated waltz of mine, trod upon my silken gown and collapse into a heap upon the floor of the very existence i wish to escape. I end with this, to quote a friend: “how can i mind, if there isn’t a mind to mind?”

Do we all live in fractured fairytales?

I realise now (almost a year later. omg.) that i was supposed to actually reply to your comments. whole point of a blog right? i’m so embarassed
-hangs head in shame-
I don’t think that we all do. Probably just those poor, misguided souls who secretly believe in romance novel endings. Love and romance is probably very real, just not the way described in these candyfloss literature. Life is way too vivid, too raw for it to be contained within a set pattern of behaviour. if it were so, the world as we know it would be rather boring
however, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t nice to daydream. hence, the mindless mission…
