"He who battles with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster; and if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." --Nietzche
Scintilla: noun - A tiny trace or spark of a specified quality or feeling.
A scintilla of doubt.
A scintilla of pain.
A scintilla of melancholy.
And a scintilla of wisdom beyond her years.
...or perhaps just a scintilla of pretentious intellectualism.
She's the idle dreamer, the advocate of isolation, and the nomad on hiatus.
She has beautiful quirks and hideous perfections, hair always delicately disheveled and eyes faithfully wary.
She's a writer and an artist, with a mind like diamonds concealed by a face like stone.
She's young but not stupid, neither ambitious, neither free.
She has interests that dance between frivolous and deep, mature and juvenile.
She knows what she's doing.
...most of the time.
She's honest.
...most of the time.
She searches for answers.
...all of the time.
Every minute of the hour.
Every hour of the day.
Every day of the year.
Every year until her aura fades and she becomes part of the earth.
She'll never find the answers, but what is there to do but keep searching?
