I was always an unusual girl.
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...
And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying...
Because I was born to be the other woman.
Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.
Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.


Open roads
Summer nights
Insane ideas
Those are the things that I love
I desire freedom
To go anywhere I dream
I want to be free
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I just need a grip on reality

But now my dreams are my reality
I don't even know what is real
I could run around
Like a complete idiot
Getting into things I shouldn't
Though that's just what keeps me going
But that just brings me back to
Am I crazy?
And let me tell you
I've found that
I'm pretty damn crazy after all

And I don't even care

The song Ride by Lana Del Rey inspired me to write this. I love a lot of her ideas and thoughts.
