IVE SEARCHED SO LONG FOR THIS
These are so fun to fill out!
Once they would have cheered for her, even celebrated. Now, the youngest cry and the eldest hold each other when they hear, āsheās alive.ā
She began as a whisper; an obscurity from nowhere that stopped a crash, pulled a child from the currents, carried a grandfather from a fire. There was little reward for the fractured bones and aching lungs that she masked behind a firm heroic pose (like those outdated cartoons). Only a nod, acceptance, from the rescue workers. It was all she needed, that affirmation.
As her name became thrumming murmurs, so did her deeds escalate. Saving pedestrians from a bus, preventing the epicentre of a pile-up, bracing the collapsing remains of a train on her back while paramedics pulled the baby from the carriage. Healing took time, the pain never truly faded, but now they smiled at her, and some called her name with hope when she approached.
Her name became a well-known secret, of the one who took the burden of otherās suffering. She washed away the blood from the robbersā artillery, knowing a clerk could go home to their newborn family. She pulled stiches from healing scars over faint scars: a small prickling price for shielding those who would not protect themselves.
When her name was roared, she knew she was now a hero. A figure of inspiration. The suffering she endured, was for them; it protected them. And so, she salved those thoughts on her aches, on the brittle self she was becoming. As she endured, and endured, took blow and agony, for the reward of their smiles.
But the cheeringā¦truly everything, became merely a murmur. Her body would heal, but the scars remained, and grew, and with each new one, they grew heavy. They pushed into her seams, held down her shoulders, and from behind the hero, the weary girl emerged. Whose eyes faded a little more each day, who no longer cried out from the force of pain, but accepted it.
As she became gaunt, her name was wept in heartbreak. Wept for the misery of the girl who would never die. Who existed only to throw herself before the suffering of others.
There exist five universes, each one tentatively connected to the others. Each universe is defined by the ABSENCE of one of the five elements; Earth, Water, Air, Fire & Magic. Our universe is the one without magic.
Black holes are the tentative bridges between the universes, generated by magic in order to consume the respective element that each universe lacks so that it may survive. Our universe, lacking in magic but abundant the remaining four, hosts the most interstellar bridges. We are the greatest resource from which to draw.
Lacking fire, a universe draws in light and stars to provide energy to its inhabitants. Another will consume gaseous giants to supplement its own atmospheres. To lack water is to lack growth, and so comets and planets are consumed for organisms to thrive. Finally, any solid rock is consumed for its minerals.
These bridges are not one way, or else our own universe would vanish from the consumption. Magic seeps through, enough for regeneration, enough for a little luck and miracles. So all stays balanced. Energy, and fundamentally matter, can only be converted after all.

Returned from the void I guess
Surprise, Iām still alive (to the few that even stumble across this blog). I predicted myself well when I started this blog. I havenāt posted in a year and a half I think. Itās a combination of factors which Iāll elaborate on further down.
First, however, there is the small name change. My name here is actually a dedication to someone I care for deeply. Previously, I used Paige to sort of separate that fact, but I decided I preferred my original idea, so Iām sticking to Enid Page. Thereās a lot of emotion behind the name for me, and if I were to ever become an author, this is the name Iād prefer to use.
I also have an Ao3 account now, not that thereās anything posted on it but itās progress.
As to why I disappeared: I am a private person; sharing my thoughts even to my own family is difficult. My writing even more so; thereās an instinct to hoard myself and keep away, which is an issue Iām still tackling. That in itself is a variety of factors. Then thereās the general laziness and insecurity. For a while I thought of many different posts to put out there, but I never had the confidence to share them, and before long, it was too late. Sometimes, what Iāve thought of to write, never comes out how I want to on a page and so it is scrapped as well. Finding the right inspiration, being satisfied with the end product (a tremendous hurdle), and so it goes.
None of these are excuses, just reasons.
To be honest, this post is in itself spontaneous. I probably wonāt proof-check it. Itās just a ramble.
Hopefully, Iāll become more committed to this blog, or just writing out my thoughts. I can only try, right?
A Joy in the World
Today by pure chance encounter, I was blessed to see someone again that has made a huge impact in my life. Iām the type of person who can hold someone very dear to me without interacting with them very often, and find it awkward to always express my gratitude of knowing someone to them. This past month Iāve had a whim to see her ā we havenāt seen each other in just over two years now ā and we bumped into each other while shopping this afternoon. Life is funny that way. Iām so thankful that it is. I donāt know how long I hugged her but I was just thrilled to see her. It put a bounce in my step and a grin on my face; itās a buoyant joyous feeling. Very apt for the season.
For context, we practised archery together. Iād started after her and despite the age gap we became rather good friends. It was a comfortable casual friendship but we had a tight bond (I call it soul friendship ā a strong amicable connection to someone regardless of the circumstances around your relationship).
Iāve always struggled with my inner self, emotionally. During my last active period of archery, I fell into an emotional slump. I became withdrawn and couldnāt break free of the veil of hollowness that had been drawn over myself. It was one of my longest, toughest and darkest slumps. I canāt accurately recall when, whether it was before or during the slump, but she had started sending me verses of scripture every morning. They were beautiful and inspirational. This was also a time when I was finding myself in terms of my beliefs, and those messages each morning gave me a little spark to the day. I related to them, I found solace and hope in them. It was thanks to her, my friends and my family that I eventually broke free of my slump; more than that, Iād rediscovered myself, come to terms with aspects of myself and accepted them. I had a new confidence in who I was. Sheās never stopped sending the verses to this day.
My ādaily scriptureā is something I look forward to each morning. Iām not sure Iāve thanked her enough; Iāve thanked her a few times but the true depth of my gratitude for her presence in my life is something I canāt express. Sheās a light in my life, a joy in my world, and one of my especially precious people.
Iāve recently experienced the....enlightening and horrifying mind-blowing game that is Undertale. Aside from an near existential crisis, Iām alright; these are just free-form pieces to help me heal and move past the game (however I actually hope Iāll always remember it as it is a big moral wake up call).
They are untitled but as a joke Iāve nicknamed themĀ āRequiem of the determinedā.
Inspired by T.S Eliotās The Waste Land.
Music has always, and shall always play a significant role in my life. As a musician and as a person, it has a firm root in my soul. I am fortunate enough to be able to attend performances of brilliantly talented musicians; rather memorable ones have been a performance by Antonio Pompa-Balaldi and recently, one by Aviram Reichert,which initially inspired this poem.It draws upon the wonder of experiencing a virtuoso in person and the thrill it sends skittering along my nerves. I tried to capture a concert in a poem, the feelings of both the performer and the audience, which actually helped me choose its title.

This is one of the first poems I wrote this year in coming to Stellenbosch. Victoria Street is part of my daily routine thanks to my route to class and although I see it so often, Iām still awed by its beauty in those moments when Iām not part of the rushing stream to class.Ā
In the early morning or late afternoon (and when its practically deserted), there is this pleasant stillness that draws you out of reality into a tranquil state; for a moment you merely exist in the world, isolated from everything but the feeling of lifeĀ and nature.

Reblog to save a life
the first step
Actually getting around to starting something is the most troublesome part of any idea (with persevering to the end a close second) and also the most frightening. Today I thought that if Iām going to try and get my name out there, well then, Iāve got to start somewhere, and so Iāve taken the first step of my journey as an aspiring writer - putting my author persona out there into the infinite cosmos that is tumblr.
To be honest this is more for myself than anything else. If I can have confidence to post what I write, if I have a place to lay all my thoughts and musings out, then I can become an writer, even if Iām not published til Iām old and grey. Iāll also be staking a claim on the pseudonym I want as my own when I write, and with all the technicalities of copyright, the sooner the better, so why not here and now?
The title of my blog,Ā āinfrequencyā, is the product of my frustration and amusement at my seeming inability to remember to be consistent with posting anything. Iāll start a project, be on a roll, and then the steam eventually peters out as I find myself engrossed with other things (like reading....a bit ironic for an aspiring writer). So itās a bit of an inside joke and a warning: sometimes Iāll be overly committed to the blog and other times you might not hear a whisper from me for months. When inspiration or the inclination hits, Iām going to try and post something - so I suppose this blog is also a goal for me, something to keep me motivated.
Thatās all from me for now. have a splendid day/night/evening/whatever depending on where you are now in the world :)
