I am fragile where you thought me bulletproof. I am doubting where you thought me unwavering. I am scared where you thought me brave. I am bleeding where you thought me invincible; sensitive where you saw me painless. I have soft flesh where you saw steel; wounds where you thought there were thorns.

the witch gang 1/?: the girls part i
they were a curious lot; strange as an overpatched skirt, holding together with the sheer force of womanly companionship, but there was beauty in the mismatched colors of the skirt. each one of them brought a different strength to life, so together they could survive day and embracer the night.

↳ mermaidsmodern-age mermaids are shapeshifters, living their lives in peace as seaside-architects, perfecting crafts, protecting wild-life, artists, quiet rebels, wholly and unapologetically other-worldly, with but one true law to abide by: when death approaches, they must return home to the ocean; dust to dust, and foam to foam.
The beginning | Modern Ushas
↳ Ushas -
The vedic goddess of dawn in Hinduism. She is the life of all living creatures, the impeller of action and breath, the foe of chaos and confusion, the auspicious arouser of cosmic and moral order.
She is portrayed as a beautifully adorned young woman riding in a golden chariot on her path across the sky, making way for the Vedic sun god Surya.

Hard and sharp and fast, she plays sport as if her life depends on it, never missing a beat, always one step ahead of everyone else. Victory is all that matters and it has become an obsession; the only goal. Team mates worship her, turning a blind eye when she plays dirty. There’s no need to wonder why there’s a suspicious red smear down her shirt or why the captain of their rivals has a black eye. Her blood sings with adrenaline, racing through warm veins. She won’t lose. Can’t lose.
