"An empty shell looking for home, she kicked off her shoes and ran-- through the desert, free and wild, like the winds."

Alice

Lately, I've been inspired by fairytales. I went to the midnight premiere of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and it was stunning. The world of Tim Burton visually brings the fairy tale to life; brilliance at its best.
When I walk around my campus or lay awake and see stars peeking in through my blinds, I realize just how much I want to write about the beauty we miss in our lives filled with homework, computer screens, migraines and disappointment.
Alice held her own; she fought, with every ounce she had, to accomplish her goals.
"I won't cry... when the world's crashing down, when I finally hit the ground, I won't turn myself around, don't you try to stop me," Avril Lavigne sings in "Alice Underground."
Simple words.
Powerful meaning.
I'm already living my fairy tale. Sometimes it's slaying the Jabberwocky. Sometimes its realizing you've been rejected from graduate school and need to begin your career.
I'm ready to live out my goals, dreams and accomplish the impossible.
