Eleven twenty five, on a Saturday night.
Careful white blossoms that are almost sickly sweet are strewn upon the ground, beautiful in their carelessness.
There’s laughter.
And singing.
So much noise,
Followed by a perfect quiet.
The quiet is the eye of a storm.
A place where emotions,
And thoughts,
And words fade away.
The world crumbles beyond it but here,
Here
All is well.
For a moment,
There is no terror,
No desperation,
No longing,
And no exhaustion.
A single ball,
A single night of glittering dresses and earnest gentlemen.
A single night where reality is gone,
And we have stepped into wonderland.
And oh,
It is beauriful.
Eleven twenty nine, on a Saturday night, and I am home in the eye of the storm.
SpoilerSo I didn’t get asked to prom (it’s ok. Next year) but there’s this group that’s been putting on a dance every month around where I live, and today there was this formal ball…it was amazing. The way they do it is so good, they spend the first 45 minutes to an hour teaching dances, like a waltz, cha cha, two step, swing, etc. and then you dance until 10 (or 11) (or whenever they kick you out). So guys actually ask people to dance, and no one comes with dates, and it was incredible. It made me think of Mistborn, and how badly I’ve always wanted to go to a ball in Keep Venture…
Guys, I love the insane moments.
The moments when everything is so completely wrong and you can’t help but laugh.
The moments when you hurt physically, mentally, and emotionally, and it’s so beautiful because you are alive, and suddenly you forget why you ever wanted to leave.
The moments that make “what comes next” a question of wonder and not panic.
Hold on, my friends, because no matter how long you wait, these moments will come. Hold on, my friends, because the darker your night is now, the more joy you’ll find when the sun dares to shine. You can see the moonlight and the stars once you’ve lived so long without them, and they are truly celestial.
Um
Anyway
Emotions aside, here’s my outfit!
Spoiler
The shirt looks a little goofy in the pic, it’s a lot cooler irl (actually the whole outfit is)
One family…
No mourners.
