About This Quote

Everyone has a different version of what love is. But there are only a few people in the world who could claim to have experienced love at first sight. To me, love was something that I had to fall for and once I did, it was the greatest feeling in the world. And then, when we fell in love we were soaring through the clouds and getting lost in a magical world.

But before we get too carried away, let’s get back to reality. I was his “little girl with the William Burroughs mind,” his “secret fairy,” “female Frank Zappa and “window onto a magical world.” His name was Michael and he was one of my best friends. When we first started dating, we would spend our time together talking about all things related to art and music while we listened to bands like Roxy Music and Frank Zappa.

We were always amazed by these bands and their unconventional approach to music and life in general. Michael used to call me his “window onto a magical world” because of all the amazing things that came out of me. He noticed that I had this creative streak in me and encouraged me to open up my mind to new ideas and possibilities
