Important things


"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seem limitless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out. But it's more than that isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear. "

Stephen King, Different Seasons, Hodder Publishers, 1992, "The Body", Pg. 321


That piece by Stephen King really touched me the first time I read it, and the more I read it, the more aware I become of how complicated the human being can be and how cruel sometimes. How unaware and unattached most people are to their emotions and feelings. It saddens me to think how shallowly most people live their lives and how they don't seem to appreciate the simple pleasures and beauty in their lives.

HolidayZ

Wow! and it's July already! Over halfway!
Yeah... its now school holidays and we all free at last! Not me really though... I'm working as a waitress so that I can earn a few bucks. I want to go sky diving once I've made enough you see but I still don't know who I wanna share the experience with.
The holiday so far has been great really. Just hanging out with my friends, a party or two. and working of course.
I also got a round to some writing that I'm doing on a book I'm writing. Its a fantasy, and it starts off comething like this...

"Quieshith was a woman of fair and voluptuous manner. Her slim body, curving to the rhythm of sleepless waves upon an empty shore forsook her all but fragile nature. She was a woman who could go by many names; proud, attentive, eloquent, wise, determined, but you could never place her under such feeble categories as ignorant, gullible, frail and weak. Despite her dainty appearance, that would often times bring to mind a wilting flower, dying and vulnerable, Quieshith was not for the picking."
well thats about all for now. Enjoy the holidays all!
