The weekend seems to come and go by so fast when you're working six days a week. One time you're chilling and just resting and a moment later, it's you're weekday - with a snap of a finger, it's gone. Do you know what's even more painful? It's to see other people enjoying Saturday while I'm imprisoned in my office.
This happens to be the first time I am posting for this community, albeit late but better late than never, pushing it so close to the deadline. Among so many topics for this weekend, the one that actually caught my attention was topic number five.
Topic four: Who would you be
This seems to be proving a little bit hard because what I have in mind is neither deceased nor currently alive. So, who or what I exactly had in mind?
Although I view myself as a simple person, some of my friends think I'm not. From the very beginning of my hive journey, I have been stuck with a tag - a witch tag. Later on, I was fashioned into Medusa - the very same famous mythical Gorgon with a head full of snakes and eyes that can turn people to stone.
One may think that being called a witch is a bad thing, I'm no Glinda from "The Wizard of OZ" but I really have gotten fond of being called a witch. So, like a mythical creature, I cannot confirm its existence, either in the past or present. But the idea of being Medusa does sound really exciting. So, IF and only if I could be anything or anyone I want to, I would be Medusa. And just think, a modern-day Medusa will not be vilified by anyone for her appearance or how she became a Gorgon. Perhaps her fate would be different, she'll have friends and to keep them safe she'll wear sunglasses and no Perseus lurking in the shadows to kill her. But that's all just a hopeful imagination.
Drifted off to myth and now coming back to reality, to be something or someone I want to, although I'm very pleased with how I turned out to be. In this "realm" if I could be anyone I want, I'd be just a regular and very boring archeologist, forage through tombs to tombs, burying my nose into dusty books in the vast libraries, museums filled in antiquities, solving ancient myths, and frantically digging for relics big and small and life couldn't be any better than that. The life of an archeologist is exciting and charming in its own way. I do not wish to be anything like Lara Croft or Indiana Jones, no sir no. Maybe someone similar to Flynn Carsen The Librarian - such an odd fellow that is but a good one.
One a myth and the other a myth solver - you can safely assume I have a fascination towards history, however old or unrealistic that is, and perhaps that is the obvious reason I would want to be something that is relatable to it.
P.S.: 12 hours of writing and a disappointing egg - yes, I know of an egg that is now disappointed in me as I have been dragging this for more than 12 hours. Say no more.
