LJ Idol Week 6 Entry

[missbinary]

I was never the one to claim anything I desired as a basic right of mine. Part of me sometimes wished I was like those women in the movies, with black hair and red lipstick who were depicted as beautiful splinters broken off from the mountain of evil. They never got no as an answer and they never felt bad because of all the people they made burst

What a painful piece. I hope this woman realizes she can do better. In fact, I hope both women realize that.

[missbinary]

Yes, I was hoping so, too while I wrote this :)

This was a nice, tightly told story, with a good ending. I'm glad she deleted the message!

[missbinary]

Thank you :) Yes, it feels really good thinking that she deleted it :)

beautiful splinters broken off from the mountain of evil.
I loved that description, as well as the archetype it represents.

Not only was I stuck in the nowhere between black and white queen, I was also a bit clumsy with expensive things.
And this, which has the pangs of being an ordinary person-- so ordinary!-- instead of magically gliding through life or cracking it open with a blow from one's wand.

[missbinary]

Thank you very much :-D

Ouch. Sometimes it's really hard to face the darker parts of ourselves, isn't it?

[missbinary]

It is, and it is also hard to integrate them into the picture we have of ourselves :)
