hi, this is alice. 

and i am lost. physically lost. and purposefully lost. you may wonder how i have done that but it's simple. i wanted to get lost. why? because i had wanted to feel that there was a world bigger and wider than the cramped and confined world of my own. that there was something greater out there within my reach. to simply put it, i was seduced by wanderlust. 

but to be honest, getting lost is terrifying. the farther you're from your home. the stranger and unwelcoming the scenery looks at you... it's scary. i don't know where i am. where i am heading, i'm changing my mind every turn. like a broken compass. 

in the end, i found a friendly mother of two young children who was willing to teach me the directions. and i found myself home before my mother could have noticed that i was late. 

but i'm still lost noa. i'm still lost. there are no directions, no compasses, no maps. no nothing. just a sense of perplexity and confusion. diffusing into an iota of frustration.

tell me noa, will i ever be found?
