Pilgrim

She freed herself from anarchy, healed the soul of imposter syndrome, and taught herself to rise above the gloat of sycophants. She was responsible for her Self to discover her journey. 

“Did she hide from the real world?“

“No. She added a chapter to the real world.“

I remembered the patron saint of travellers and pilgrims (Die schutzpatronin der pilger).

Short Fiction: “Tinking back in a knitwear is easier…”

In the intrinsic patterns of knitted sweater, she ran her fingers, tracing the maze, feeling default in the original design.

Stereotypes woven deep inside belief, her titles of obedience and multitasking, were default settings of original design.

“Tinking back in a knitwear is easy, undoing stereotypes is but a maze in itself.” Her thoughts formulated.

She wandered into the corners of her mind; questioning and editing her belief system.

“I am blessed. And it’s my right to voice stereotypes.”

She became one among the many open-hearted commoners, who willingly held space, and offered care, despite the many despites.
