I looked thoughtfully at the beautiful sunset, the image of a countryside with farm animals, green soft grass, clear blue skies and lovely grandparents filling my thoughts. I used to think I was weird for creating scenarios from anything and everything. With anything I looked at, I created a connection through stories and ideas. I guess my whole mindset changed when I realized that didn't make me weird but special. And no, it's not cringe. I have this friend....well he's not exactly a friend since we never spoke beyond 'hey, how are you, how was your day?' And that may probably be my fault mainly because I hate strangers?
Well anyway back to the topic. I have this erm person-talking-guy who I met some weeks ago when I arrived here. He was just like me;well not quite because unlike me, he made music from everything and anything he saw. He even made a music about me.... something about a firefly in winter. Well I didn't quite get it and I still don't. I don't ever plan on asking him because like I said, I don't like strangers much. The stranger danger talk really gets to me.
"Mimi, where have you been? Mom and dad have been looking all over for you," a stern voice called, pulling me out of my trance.I turned to look at my older sister, Kadielle. She wore a sunset-ish top with the words:"IF YOU CANT FIND THE PEACE YOU WANTED, BE THE PEACE YOU NEVER HAD."I suddenly felt a smile forming on my lips. It was beautiful - I mean the writing on her shirt. I was beginning to create stories and scenes in my head when I heard Kadielle clear her throat.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You're doing that again...when you suddenly feel an idea popping, you make this face like you've just won a billion dollar lottery,"she laughed.
"I'm in one of my moments,"I shrugged. Kadielle shook her head, smiling. "Well, whatever scene cooking up in your head, you better get it ready soon cause Mom and Dad are almost done and we need to leave before it's too late." She said and turned to leave.
"But I don't want to leave, I like it here in the city. I like the chaos, the entertainment, the food, the ideas that pop all the time, the attitude, the life, the..." I stopped midway when I realized she was already gone. I sighed and turned to look at the sunset again. "I like it here and for once, I don't want to keep moving. I want to stay here." No one heard me and I liked it that way....or probably because I was whispering to myself.
