Unpleasant Fairy

Somebody told her she was made of stardust, and nothing could stop her from achieving what she wants. That somebody did not tell Maria that God always builds an anti-thesis of everything. One would never appreciate peace, without knowing turmoil and war. Colours look more defined when contrasted with an opposite on the colour wheel. … Continue reading Unpleasant Fairy
