"In the strange anomaly of my existence, feelings with me had never been of the heart, and my passions always were of the mind."
Edgar Allan Poe, Berenice

The Opera ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box- keepers, the cloak-room attendants, or the concierge. No, he existed in flesh and blood, though he assumed all the outward characteristics of a real phantom, that is to say, of a shade.
Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera

"I'm failing myself in everything.. the smallest of things... Things so little, you don't even realise until it's too much..so much."

I am the anger, the madness running through my veins.
I am the dagger, the hand that's cutting off my wings.
I am my own rage, my own despise,
I am the teeth that's gnawing at my mind.
I am my own rope to tie around my neck.
I am the shovel that's digging out my grave.
I am the misery, I am the grief,
I am my own angel, my own disease.

I'm holding a warm mug, steam swirling from the surface of my tea. All is quiet inside my home except the crackling of dancing flames in the little fireplace. Even my beloved cat is sleeping. There's a book, waiting for me to sit down in the pillow covered window nook, but I cannot help but stare through the great window.. the window that oversees a vast fjord, and the hills crawling with fog. The water nearly frozen over now, the ice's starting to sing. The blues and grays painting their way through every day. But today the sky above the hills is a familiar purple shade, an omen of white feathers to soon fall down to protect the land. I'm here, present, and yet I'm completely calm. Surrounded by home; every piece of me knows, every piece of me feels, my spirit breathes. I am standing here and I don't wanna leave. I wanna exist nowhere but here.
It is but a dream.. how endlessly beautiful.
Emily Yvonne

All these, however, were mere terrors of the night, phantoms of the mind that walk in darkness...

Sincerely,
A desire to live without an overpowering and paralysing stress about never living life because I wanna live it slowly and peacefully
