our endless numbered days
My name is Staley, and I enjoy kindness, adventures that happen on sunny days, and reading many, many books. I am a dreamer. I am living in a sky full of diamonds. I am Alice from Wonderland who is following the white rabbit. I am the sea that does not ever settle down. I am a simple girl who longs to sing lullabies to Earth as she cries and make the sadness within people's hearts disappear. I want to be a bone-shaker, a dragon-tamer, a wild-wind-chaser, a soul-searcher, a story-teller, a starry-sky-dweller.

"I wish…that everyone believed in the most magical, lyrical, dreamworld, heart-thumping, head-spinning, storybook things, catching only glimpses of them but knowing that they’re there nonetheless. I wish that strangers would shudder to a halt, spinning madly on one heel in the middle of the street, swinging to catch sight of pinched imps in fedoras and whistling fauns drifting past the corner of their eye. I wish strangers would tell of how boys in coffee shops steal handfuls of creamers and sugar-cubes, only to leave them in a broken trail in hopes of luring home his sweet-toothed anima. I want quiet girls to tell me in whispered words and hushed tones about how love-struck firebird boys visit them at night, whispering sonnets in their ears when they think they’re asleep, and how paper-skinned pixies tell fortunes in the park to anyone who will listen. I wish the world around me would hum to life with long-forgotten tales and dusty stories and folks would tell of how these bedtime stories have cracked into the modern world in tiny, wistful specks of life." by Penelope Bat
