❛ Yeah … let’s conquer these growing pains together. ❜ Ah, so concealed in quips do roses possess thorns. It fills her flesh, splinters her sorrowful soul. Will she be strong enough to reach the light at the end of the tunnel? Will she be strong enough to share in Saima’s burdens ?
❛ I’m honestly just so scared that people won’t like the real Stella. That’s why I keep busy, distract myself, forget about this whole soul-searching thing because it always feels like people judge me and label me as disabled for being different. They always want to change me into something more normal, something they’re used to. ❜
She shuts the bible of astronomy in her lap, strewing it towards the other end of the couch. Perhaps, if only for one fleeting moment, the ghost of violence and war songs tainted her forceful actions.
❛ There are days when I feel like giving up on humanity, y’know ? ❜
The pair could only try, couldn’t they? After all, it wasn’t often one found others of the same mythical feel despite being of differing backgrounds. It only seemed right that Saima and Stella would try and stick together. To help each other through adjusting to this whole new world that they had witnessed. As Stella spoke, Saima nodded – relating all too much to the situation that she described. “I can understand that. I tend to keep busy for similar reasons. And because people have seen me a certain way for a while – it’s been hard to admit to my true self in front of them. It ‘s enough to make me want to withdraw and just start again somehow. People do have a way of being incredibly judgmental – they’ve always been like that although – it’s something else to be close to that end of what they can not and will not understand.”
Those forceful actions don’t exactlly go unnoticed, a hint of the discomfort that their dear friend has been experiencing.”Trust, I know that feeling. It’s something that I’ve experienced often. It’s incredibly tempting.” And Saima can’t fully say that they haven’t given in a way – if only in the fact that they no longer have any interest in trying to feel human when it’s obvious that they are so much more.
