I have struggled for years regarding who I am versus what others expect me to be. There were times that I felt that I had no choice in who I was. People have advised me time and time again that I had a choice as to who or what I am. Well, for the longest of time, I did not believe them. So, I did grand things to be more than what I perceived myself to be. I needed to prove that I am something more.
You ever hear the phrase "Fake it till you make it?" I finally believe it. Not just in my head all logical like, but I believe it in my heart. I get to choose who I am. Feck anyone who tries to tell me otherwise.

So, I went to the Iron Guard meeting a little while back when they made it public. I listened to their plans. Then, I reminded them of the history of abuse and of their very own Lyseander Craw. I witnessed two kids be murdered by them. Well, I say kids, but more like young adults. Kids compared to some of us. Anyways, the two had simply picked the pocket of some silk that had come to the Lowers. So, Craw's goons killed the kids and Craw took the purse from them, pocketing it for himself. Anyways, I reminded them of the atrocities performed by their own hands.
Now, they made me their liaison between the people and them. I am not sure what to think of this newfound responsibility.

Gray hair is nothing. Try a full head of white hair, beard to boot. For as long as I can remember, its been white. And it reminds me that I'm never as young as I think I might be.

What is this phenomenon of GRAY hair? I've never seen such a thing in my life but now my curiosity is piqued. I might have to investigate this further.

A verse my son wrote for me, which I must immortalize in my Whites without delay:
Keen blade, keen eye,
For glory be and victory
It's not truer if it rhymes
It just takes me more time.
He's right, you know!

I'm still looking.
It's been years and I still have not found it. It's out there, I know this much and some day, someone will show it to me. Till then I shall have to be patient for time moves as it will and when it wants to be found, it will be found.

You spend weeks on the road with others and with some, there is a bond. And then they up and die. Heroically. With purpose and in the process of saving yours.
I wish that didn't have to have happened. Or that the hurt would linger as hard as it does.
Making the skull didn't make it hurt less. I guess it's a good thing that she's putting it in the wall and not me. I don't know that I could actually put it in the wall where it belongs. I'm going to go drown myself in Mum's biscuits and throw things around.

There IS such a thing as reading too much.
Note to self: read more to get over it.

It is always interesting to experience the cuisine of other places.
And, sometimes, it is delicious. When not - interesting will do.

Trying to find a husband outside of the Valardin fealty is going harder than one might expect. Maybe it is just me though.

It feels more and more like I spend most of my time pouring over battleplans than anything else. A few years ago this might not have been something that I'd think about but I noticed another gray hair or two this morning. Okay, there might have been more than 1 or 2 but I really don't want to think about this right now.

I've been blessed with patrons. Master Ripley truely is an artist. On top of Master Ripley, Lady Neilda Saik has also blessed me with choosing me to patron her. We've been friends for years, but in those years I've never really--done much but be her friend. I know there's much we can teach eachother and I look forward to it!

What is best for one isn't best for other. I feel like that should be reminded from time to time.

I was swimming in the river, just enjoying the day. As I was enjoying the water and not melting, a deer came up to the water's edge to drink. He looked calm and at peace with himself. With his surroundings. He didn't seem to have a care. And I thought there wondering, "When's the last time I ever I felt like that? Ever felt like that?" I should start becoming more one with nature, not just running to get away.

I find myself wandering farther and farther away, scholar. And it's getting harder for me to come back.

It was good. It was good seeing people gathered, telling stories. It was nice seeing these people gathered at a table and not on a hospital bed. I'm proud to call a great many of those from the Isles friends and I enjoyed them and myself. And the food.

There's nothing like the silence that follows after you've been truthful and communicated with someone.
