Yeah, that one carries a lot of baggage with it for me. It's very personal.

Irene Wilde said:Yeah, that one carries a lot of baggage with it for me. It's very personal.
Irene Wilde said:Such a long and rambling story would never fit in a PM. I'll leave it as a bit of an enigma.
honeydevil said:did you do ever something totally crazy and everybody said "don't do it" and when you did it you felt as if you stand on top of the world? just curious...
what was it?Irene Wilde said:Yes and yes, and then the fall came and it was a long way down. But while I was up there, it was certainly worth it, and it was worth the fall. And yes, I'd do it again if I could.
Irene Wilde said:Is it important? In the long run, it isn't the particulars, it's the emotions that matter. That feeling that all things are possible -- it's tremendous no matter what brings it into being. Everyone should have it once. Chasing that one foolish dream when everyone says you're crazy and seeing it coming true, if only for a little while -- it's indescribable but something that should be experienced.
Irene Wilde said:Maybe, one day, another dream will come along that will be worth chasing. Right now, I'm between dreams, I guess.
fair enough, a smile that lights your world is the best dream you can chase!Irene Wilde said:Not when the one you love most is 9 years old and has a smile that lights up your world.
Irene Wilde said:And she won't always be 9. When she is grown, there may still be time to chase dreams. Or when I am old(er) and in my dotage and no one cares what I do anymore, maybe there will time then. And finally, when this whole world is done with me and my soul is truly free -- that will be time when I know with a certainty that borders on actually having faith in something that I can soar again and be lifted by the power of one dream and not fear the fall.
honeydevil said:that sounds like a church speach! but yeah you're kinda right, you still have time to chase whatever you want!
Irene Wilde said:Nah, church requires real, actual faith, which is something I lack in all things. To me, it's a pleasant surprise when the sun rises in the east, and I think this whole gravity thing is a bit dodgy, so my feet hit the floor with great care each morning.
Irene Wilde said:Well, Ms. Devil, it's been very nice talking to you over the last few days. I've abided by the truce and I've been very patient, but alas! So I'll climb up to my Secret Rebel Base for awhile longer and let these more recent events play themselves out. Perhaps when I re-emerge at a future date things will have changed for the better.
So in closing:
