Nook.

 With a steaming hot barista made coffee
In front of her, its aroma excites and encourages her busy mind.

She is so peaceful and content tucked away in the booth, of her favourite cafe's nook.

She picks up a pen, and begins
To write in her favourite notebook.
The moment the pen comes in contact
With the blank page, her mind spills open as Her creative magic comes to life!

An immediate and instant release of her thoughts, feelings, emotions, passions and true self as she creates a world of her own.

She is the main character of her story, and
Not just "some other" ordinary girl. She is the Author and Illustrator of this new dimensional realm.

She decides whether to be the hero, or villain.
She chooses whether to travel through a void into the unknown, or stay exactly where she is.

She can be anything.
Whether that be a gladiator wrestling terrifying beasts, a knight riding off into the sunset or a Queen ruling her people from the comfort of her Palace's throne.

Every peace of the puzzle is finally falling into place, it feels so good for her to write what her heart and mind has been craving to say -
I am Invincible! There's Nothing standing in My Way!

When she's in the bubble that is her imaginary and creative world, the pen is her key to unlocking her true authentic self. She has no reason to deny who She really is, or pretend to be someone else.

On the pages of her notebook, she opens her heart and mind wide. No longer afraid to follow the signs. With the pen, her paintbrush and the pages her canvas, she paints the skies.
She has no need to give up anything, or make any unnecessary sacrifice.

Suddenly the chaos of the real world calls her out of the pages of her notebook, interrupting and disturbing her thought process, snapping her out of peak concentration and hyper focus. Annoyed, she covers her ear with one hand in attempts to block out the unbearable noises.

She turns her eyes away from the chaos, back to the familiar and comforting pages of her notebook. Happy, silently soothed and pacified in the cosy nestling space, that is her nook.
