I was born in 1886 and this reminds me of when me and my dearest sisters would run rampant through the castle, only to get scolded by my mother and father for not acting lady-like.

[@NoName-sr4co]

I happen to have been born in 1887, it was a rather odd time then, no? It is wonderful for us all now, no more scoldings for the running, only scolding when you run into a vase that's hanging precariously off a table. Would you like to wander the halls of my castle with me? A pair of ghosts, playing tag? We'll cause a good ruckus, I'm sure.

[@Kiwi-rm5qf]

@@NoName-sr4co aha, yes! I agree, what a time it was indeed! I do remember shattering a couple of my mother’s most prized vases, she was not feeling for joyous when I did such a thing. What a delight that would be to go to your castle and wander the halls! Yes, I think I would enjoy that quite much. We can indulge in as much fun as our imaginations will allow, for as the ghosts we are, there is only a loss of creativity that can put an end to the tomfoolery! I daresay we cause enough trouble to awaken our mothers from the grave and perhaps get to hear their voices ring with stern disagreement in our behavior? How enjoyable would that be?

Ive been destroying myself all my life. Im trying to figure out how to build myself and the thing i thought was dead in my chest is starting to ache at the mere thought of coming alive again, to take a chance, to open like a flower.

[@daighreeasterling6513]

I thought my heart was still too. I thought it was gone, never to see the light of day again. Then I saw the sunset, I really saw the sunset. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen in my life. Before, it was though the whole world was in grayscale. The world was naught but a silent film; mere acting and going through the motions of what living is supposed to look like... When I saw the sunset... I saw color. I saw beauty and light and felt something in my chest leap. I did not recognize it as joy yet, but I would come to know it as such. Closing up your heart may seem like a good choice to protect it, but the life that you feel when it is open is... It's like seeing a sunrise for the first time in all its glory.

Зимой, когда все разъехались на каникулы, я гулял по холодным пустым коридорам. В зале для школьных спектаклей мерзли сдвинутые к стенам стулья, из-за пыльных портьер пробивался тусклый свет зимних полусумерек. На сцене оставили старый рояль, я садился, и одинокая мелодия улетала под сумрак потолка. Когда пальцы окончательно застывали, я проводил рукой по неровному лаку и уходил греться себе в комнату - пить чай и читать скучную книгу.
