MENG SHI
There are only three paths a girl can take when the world decides she is beautiful. The first is to be bought by a husband, becoming a ghost in her own home. The second is to be bought by a master, becoming a song meant for others to sing. And the third? The third is to seek the mountains, trading her heart for a cultivation blade or a nun's robe (Taoist nun).
I spent my youth learning to paint, never realizing I was merely choosing which colour I would use to disappear.
