Wanting

She throws sensibility to the wind as she races through the grass. A quick spin and then laughter and she feels alive for the first time in days. As she walks back towards her shoes, she decides that sensibility is a curse and is not to be inflicted on anyone.

She leaves with a promise to buy striped purple leggings and wildly inappropriate shoes.

To wear jewellery simply because she likes it and to buy a whimsical scarf.

To dress in red and yellow and to stop and taste the sunshine.

To write about whatever she takes a fancy to, regardless of whether it’s truthful, and to write often.

These things, she promises herself.

    I have a vast collection of colourful and patterned tights. They help.
