She's just nobody wearing Artemis around her neck

One day you may see her doing things like everybody else does.

Then the next day she will just leave everything and set herself out on a solo drive to neighboring towns, or on a very short notice she will just disappear for days on her random journeys.

Then you may see her somewhere sipping coffee

with people you just can't figure out how they can be at the same moment despite all the difference.

You may also see her doing things that will raise your eyebrows

and she doesn't care anymore about being misunderstood.

And maybe you will find her bothering you with questions,

sharing her thoughts, insights, or truths that hit you right between the eyes or give you nightmares.

And when you push her away, she will adjust her distance,

hold dandelions in her hands and blow the seeds to the directions of the sun, the stars and the moon.

But she NEVER apologized for what she did.

If you wonder why she did what she did,

go ask her and she will say, "because it's good to know there is

Someone who is stubborn enough to have your back

and lend a light when things get dark and you fall and you can't even find anything to hold and lift yourself up

Someone who refuses to leave you alone when you are at a crossroad

and can't decide which one to take or which stones to step on
Someone who stays even after so many times you push them away
Someone who pats your back and says everything will be alright
Someone she never had in her darkest moments."

So consider yourself lucky when you're in her radar.
