You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it- Neil Gaiman.
Who are you to be who you are?-Le'Na Pernell

and here i thought i'd never say this word aloud,
i thought i was hard enough to stand alone
thought i was strong enough to endure on my own.

but i find myself exposed;naked,
my heart lay out on the line,

i absolutely detest this openness,
this uncovered form

and i've grown to HATE my vulnerability with a fiery, white-hot, everlasting passion
