"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.

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!

Today at break time I decided to walk to perimeter of the school, following the road around the whole school alone. It was very good I felt to walk alone for a bit, get a chance to think things through. Wonder about life. I let my feet pace themselves, let them walk fast if they wanted to, stop if they needed, without instruction, without constrictions. I was my own person, boundless, going where I wanted to for the first time.
The stretch of road span out before me making me visualise it as my life... the white lines directing me, flowing endlessly before me. I tripped over some stones in the way but for the most part, the significance of the walk was the best I could ever have.

I have really weird dreams sometimes...
Last night I dreamed that I was with a friend of mine, that was my friend in my dream, but that I had never actually met or even seen in my waking life. He was telling me about a "Prophetic Dream" he had had in which a creature with multiple heads and limbs came to him. I saw the silhouette of the creature, an almost comical outline of what seemed to be a mass of a creature made entirely out of limbs and heads. Heads mostly of lions and men, but there was a snake or two among them.
I wasn't scared of the creature and watched as it changed as it got friendlier into a more wholesome animal. I started to wonder within my dream of how strange my friend's dream had been and wondering what it could mean.
I think I should lay off the coffee...
I wouldn't mind hearing about other strange dreams people have had. If your interested in sharing post a comment. :-)
Cheers,
Eden

"It's a long walk back to Eden, sweetheart. Don't sweat the small stuff."
A quote by one of the characters in the Book Insomnia by Stephen King. It's quite a quote to live by I think, If you think about how much time we actually spend complaining and moaning about such small pointless things that you actually look past the beauty of the world and fail to see any positive. In life we all go through times where secretly we don't feel like being comforted and we just need the human sympathy that we don't always get. The truth I think is that it really isn't a long walk back to "Eden" or paradise... It's everywhere you look if you bothered, you can feel it in the breeze, see it in the bright colours of Autumn leaves, smell it in the sweet air, hear it in the pure trickling of water, taste it in the fine fruits of the earth. If you only bothered to savour the moment.

My journey through life so far has been one strange ride. Life in itself is like riding a wild horse, it tests you by jerking tentatively at the reins, it sometimes gives you a kick, at any time it can rear and throw you off, an unexpected buck can unnerve you but I suppose that's the nature of it. Its like an out ride on a horse that you sometimes cannot control, and one false move and send it bolting off into a direction you hadn't intended.
But life isn't always that bad. The ride can be fun too, if you'd laugh off the little jumps in the road, forgive the little mood swings of your steed and just generally learn how to ride.
In my teenage life in particular, I have often felt like I myself am the horse. Like I'm the one that's bridled, having the cold, hard bit torn back in my tender mouth every time I try to get somewhere. like I'm having spurs dug into my sides cruelly, someone constantly on my back trying to control my every move when really I'm just rearing to go. Burning with the passion of youth I paw the ground in my frustration.
But I guess that's how life is. I should be thankful. I know of those that have it much worse than I.

My name as you will see from my profile is Eden Theron and I am a 16 going on 17 girl. In this blog I shall post things that inspire me or make me feel a certain way, or just plain say what I want. so I start off by saying how happy and excited I am that school's out tomorrow and I have a nice long-ish holiday in front of me! Hope everyone else out there from South Africa enjoy their break as well.
Cheerio
