a younger, youthful version of me had longings. one was to have the power of invisibility, to ghost like, and unreal. milky, like painting a canvas with a base and dipping the brush back into ***** waters. another was to have a large collection of books, that released a nostalgic, musky aroma whenever my head felt too empty. an older, wiser (though not by much) version of me now longs for fiction. an empty meadow that spreads far and wide; which would be the perfect companion to the two story shoe box i never owned. conversations with nature and with the pajandrum of my mind, are things i will always long for, an older wiser version of me would surely agree. she'd say, "i still long for it now."

a younger, youthful version of me would never long for such silly things. an older, wiser version of me would tell me that those things are hard to find.
