Can a nightmare really ever be stopped? I no longer think so
Are traditions really as important as we are led to believe? Does choice of which traditions we wish to consider never equate into the matter? Just because it has been done a certain way for the last thousand years, should we also do it that way?
This is an age old question, but something that happened yesterday at school got me to thinking. What IS in a name? Take my name for instance, Sitianna Rinko Akiro. When people hear the name Sitianna, they think India or Egypt. They usually are suprised to learn that I am of japanese and chinese descent. To be perfectly frank, I am unsure where exactly I got the name Sitianna. Or take my guardian/adoptive mother's name, Lirin Van Knight. Her first name is probably English or Gaelic. And she has told me many times that Van Knight is the angelicized version of her family name and that it was either Romanian or German. So what really lies in a name?
Why do most days seem to but cut from the same cloth. Today is a repeat of yesterday, and yesterday of the day before. The ony thing that differs is the darkness that stains my soul
Another day at Rosebriar Academy for Girls, another day in a PINK uniform. Why do our elders always insist on carrying out the traditions that they know will drive us the craziest? Simply because all other Van Knight daughters have gone there, now so must I? Ah well, I have long ago consinged myself to my fate, I have been going there since I was sixteen. So I consign myself to my fate and go about my life.
