Wildflower

Today I'm tired. The week has been long and my mind is already unravelling for the start of the weekend. I'm looking forward to starting my new job again- a few months ago I had worked at sears (then I left) and now I'm going back!!! I need the money to pay for common necessities and to build a financial foundation for myself. Tonight is my church's "chicken & waffles" get together (that is so country)!! The church is also having a fashion show so I'll definitely be present to see what's going on in the Christian fashion world.
I'm currently reading two books, Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid and Rock My Soul by bell hooks. I am definitely awestruck by underlying stories in each of these novels and often find myself lost in the realm of reality with each story told. It's becoming normal for me to see myself thru the "spirits" of the book's characters.
I read often and by the time I finish each selection I feel as though I've lost part of my heart amongst the pages that my vision has graced. I'm left to fill a void and at the same time I am filled with inspiration to continue to seek beauty in objects that aren't beautiful- to develop myself as a complex, ever changing young woman...a wildflower pressed between the pages of delicate books and stories.
