~ Rose Walker ("Sandman Volume 9: The Kindly Ones")
The last week or so has left me feeling like I need to dettach from everything for a while.
Runaway to a quaint neighbouring country where no one knows who I am. To be just another nameless, fleeting face; one lost in a crowd. To see another small part of the world -- Either alone or with a close friend. Sometimes, it's good to feel small and inconsequential. Suppose we all need a little bit of solitude once in a while. Hell, even Sarawak sounds good now, despite it's more backward living conditions and me being a city girl at heart.
Alas, it isn't really practically possibly anymore because the days leading up to the new semester have me busy.
Suppose I could shrink all responsibility and take a break, but that would leave me feeling really guilty as I'm not quite that irresponsible.
Over the weekend, my sister told me I reminded her of Delirium from Sandman. I suppose I can be like that, but if you think about it, the Endless represent things that are in all of us. They are, afterall, merely concepts. And sometimes, I wonder if being delirium is such a bad thing.
"I am following my fish," she says in The Kindly Ones.
I think Delirium is starting to be my favourite character of the series.
