My flowers are incredibly simple to make. I place a small spot of color on the page and push it around until I get it looking like a flower. Perhaps because it is so easy is why I struggle to see them as being as amazing as everyone else seems to see them.
So many topics…. what should I talk about?
I am currently looking at the idea of doing some cosplay.
This is really stretching out of my comfort zone. I love the idea of dressing up, but I don’t like the idea of doing anything that puts me in the spotlight.
Just doing the reading of my own poetry on TikTok requires a lot of work to get me to feel like I am not putting my own feet hip deep in my head.
I have been eyeing the mushroom hats. Apparently there is a wonderful tutorial on making them on YouTube…
I found several…I think that I really want to make this one…
What craft has caught your eye?
Lyrics
Once upon a time in a far away land
A little girl lived under her father’s hand
She wept in silence and never talked
Her father made sure that he called the shots
He nailed the door shut so she couldn’t leave
Blew out the lights so she couldn’t see
But one night she broke through the window pane
Nothing could stop her great escape
‘Cause this girl had plans
That he’d never understand
All the miracles she saw in her dreams
All the amazing things that she could be
So the little girl ran away from home you see
Little girl go on and write your story
Little girl rejoice ’cause you’re finally free
Little girl be who you wanna be
You already know the strength inside your heart
You don’t need someone to tell you who you are
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
Twenty years later through the hourglass
The little girl grew up in the time that’s passed
All those late nights ’cause she worked three jobs
Started from pennies now she’s her own boss
One day she opens up the door to meet
A stranger at window guess who she sees
Her father shows up with a face of red
Head down low he looks up and says
I know you can’t forgive
All the things that I did
But I’m hoping that you’ll understand
For you I always had a plan
So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved
The world she saw from all the highest peaks
How she moved the mountains with her fingertips
Head to toe her father finally admits
You already know the strength inside your heart
You don’t need someone to tell you who you are
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
Be who you wanna be
Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
Ah
Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
My 2 Cents –
Okay I was going to post this last week but I realized it was going to be V-day and changed my mind because of that. This song made me cry 😭. I have been that little girl. Every girl in my generation has. Expectations are a heavy load.
Ugh, I’m always late…. thankfully my publisher is on the ball. Ethereal Dreams released yesterday. I hope you are enjoying it if you bought it, if you haven’t then I hope you do.
So you found a new book?
Or maybe you just published one?
Did you find a new webcomic that you like?
Or a song you think everyone should hear?
No need for explanation…Just Share it.
You find a good deal that you think we should all see? Just share!
Or hey even a joke you think too fun not to share, Just share it.
Post links in the comments.
Occasionally I will too.
An elephant pencil drawing. I have noticed that my animals are all a bit cartoonish…but I don’t think that is necessarily a bad thing.
So many topics…. what should I talk about?
Mythology…and misogyny. Do you know the history behind Medusa? It is back in my mind due to a nasty thing circling the interwebs being planned for April. (NO I will not be elaborating on that.)
Medusa was a handmaiden in the temple of Athena. Poseidon took an interest in her and took advantage of her. Athena punished Medusa for this by turning her into a gorgon.
So, because she fell victim to the god of the seas, she was made so “Ugly” that no one could look upon her or turn to stone.
Lyrics
Another love taken to the grave
Another one goes right down the drain
I keep making all the same mistakes
Running out of reasons I can blame
Thought I had a heart of gold
Everything I touch turns to stone
Is it my fault I always end up alone?
Maybe I’m just difficult
Maybe I’m impossible
Maybe I’m just one step over the edge
You’re one foot out the door
Maybe I’m emotional
Too much to handle or
Maybe I’m unlovable
Is there anyone left to believe?
Is there any good still left in me?
I keep slipping further underneath
I just want a love that never leaves
Thought I had a heart of gold
Everything I touch turns to stone
Is it my fault I always end up alone?
Well, maybe I’m just difficult
Maybe I’m impossible
Maybe I’m just one step over the edge
You’re one foot out the door
Maybe I’m emotional
Too much to handle
Maybe I’m unlovable
Unlovable
Maybe I’m just difficult
Maybe I’m impossible
Maybe I’m just one step over the edge
You’re one foot out the door
Maybe I’m emotional
Too much to handle oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Maybe I’m unlovable
Unlovable
Maybe I’m unlovable
