Chloe...

Today I went to Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena (an amazing place if you haven't been there yet) and I looked for a journal that had a cover that I fell in love with when I went to Vroman's last Sunday. It had a cover of a bunch of birds in flight and something else and a quote on it that just made me dream and wonder... It actually inspired me to want to write, so I went back today to Vroman's to see what the quote was. I actually want to buy the journal which is only like six bucks but we're struggling financially right now, so the quote will do for now :o)

Here's the quote: "She decided to free herself, dance into the wind, create a new language. And birds fluttered around her, writing "yes" in the sky."

For some reason, when I saw that quote, I just cannot help but want to write about who "she" is and what she's all about... Here's my attempt (the first of many, I'm sure) as of ten minutes ago...

She decided to free herself, dance into the wind, create a new language. And birds fluttered around her, writing "yes" in the sky. Hesitating then no longer, Chloe raised her arms high above her and slowly brought them down to her side, dreaming of blue skies and poetry. Soft melodies drifted through her opened mind, captivating her inner child and enabling herself to truly be free. It was at that very moment that she jumped, not like one with the desire to die but like one without a worry in the world, her heart light and painfully beautiful. Tears escaped her eyes, bringing her closer to herself, bringing with them a release that can only be felt after completely emptying oneself.

Chloe was her name, she knew that much. Even that could change, she told herself, but yet she knew that she would always be Chloe, no matter what anybody else called her, or what she called herself- she was, is and always would be Chloe.
