A HUGE thanks to the writer of SouthernDaylight for this thoughtful piece they created for my birthday recently. So taken aback at seeing a character brought to life like this!

Thank you again for capturing the Li'l Firestarter so well <3

?Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves? - Laura Esquivel

?When she awoke, the world was on fire.? - Scott Westerfield

"She's mad, but she's magic. There's no lie in her fire.?
- Charles Bukowski

"What is it about fire that's so lovely?" - Ray Bradbury

?..writes of a doctor who 'knew only too well how often the early stages of change or cure may mimic deterioration. Cut a chrysalis open, and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly, a fit emblem of the human soul, for those whose cast of mind leads them to seek such emblems. No, the process of transformation consists almost entirely of decay.? - Rebecca Solnit

It's better to believe that you're someone -
Than no one at all.
Sure, they love the singer,
But not the song.
They always get her words wrong.

The demons hear the exterior
They'll try and hold her down.
They've never meant much to me
The way you do now.

It's no use to stay
I know what they'll ask for
I'm ready now to burn

Dust and ash on the floor
I'm ready now to burn
To be dust and ash

Haven't you heard?
Strangers never ask:
"Am I the one you want?
Am I the one you want?"

No heart is safe
That's the risk you take

Be courageous and crazed
You played it safe,
I was not afraid to lose
