To Paradise And Back- Chapter 1

To Paradise and back- Chapter 1

Astrid Hofferson ran as fast as she could along the harbor with her best friend Heather Wellmann. The big white cruise ship that was supposed to take them to the Caribbean was already waiting for them. The ship was supposed to leave soon and they were late. In the distance they could already hear the calls of Heather's brother, Dagur, who was already waiting for the two women with her boyfriend Eret at the railing. “Hurry up ladies.” “Come on, Heather,” Astrid cheered, grabbing her friend by the wrist. Heather laughed with her and the two ran onto the ship as quickly as they could. Laughing and completely out of breath, they stood in the magnificent, modern lobby of the cruise ship. Dagur and Eret, both dressed in colorful Hawaiian shirts, walked towards them. Dagur clapped his hands, a cheeky grin on his face. "That's what I call a sprint, ladies." Astrid huffed and blew a strand of her silky blonde hair out of her face, which fell to her waist. “Well, what can I say, boys. I wasn’t the champion in track team in high school for nothing.” From the corner of her eye, Astrid saw her friend wrap her arms around her lover. An image appeared in her mind's eye. A laughing couple lying together in a Hollywood swing and eating grapes together. Sam and her. She missed him so much. She gritted her teeth uneasily and pushed this too-beautiful, sugary-sweet memory out of her head. Sam had left her and out. There was nothing left to feel or miss. It was over. “Hey, Astrid, you’re okay,” asked Dagur, lovingly nudging her in the arm with his elbow. Astrid jumped briefly, but quickly regained her composure. Nodding, she forced a fake smile. "Yeah, I'm fine." She spun around to grab her white bag that had been resting next to her turquoise suitcase. "How about if you guys could help us with our pastries." "With pleasure, Astrid," Eret replied and immediately threw Heather's heavy suitcase over his shoulder. “You, show-off,” Heather giggled and gave her boyfriend a quick pinch on his impressive arm muscle. "Hey, only the very best for you." Dagur and Eret helped the girls bring their pastries to their cabin, of course Heather shared one with her boyfriend, Astrid had one all to herself, which she really liked. It was beautifully spacious with a bed covered in white sheets. In one corner stood a rosewood dressing table with a mirror that appeared to have been made of crystal glass. It even had a small balcony with a table and two chairs. But what surprised her most was the bath, which she thought was worthy of an empress. With a jacuzzi and a magnificent shower, the glass of which depicted the colorful motifs of a Caribbean reef. She collapsed onto the cloud-soft mattress and decided to unpack later. Now she wanted to enjoy the luxury that she would no longer have so quickly after this unique trip. She could finally forget all the stress of her work, she loved the gym, but it was usually very stressful because she had one yoga or Zumba class after the other every day until 9 p.m. Added to this were her debts, which she couldn't pay off because she wasn't paid much as a fitness trainer, and there was also the argument with her parents over her separation from Sam. It was a miracle for her that she celebrated her twenty-first birthday on a goddamn cruise ship if Eret and Dagur hadn't won the big competition. As far as she knew, the two of them had won eight tickets and before they left, Eret had mentioned that he had asked some of his friends if they wanted to come with them. Astrid didn't know any of them, but she was still very excited to meet new people and forget all the crap from home. She would get to know Eret's friends, but first she would get some sleep. She snuggled into the soft pillows and enjoyed the slight rocking of the ship as it began to move.

I can now officially say since Megamind Rules Season 2 came out, that Jurassic World: Chaos Theory is the best DreamWorks Show of the year. Not in a ironically or in another fancy way this Show is peak, it’s thrilling, it’s emotional and it’s awesome in every way possible. If you look closer and know what the Chaos Theory is and what it is about, then you can see that the story structure is based around it. It’s a nice little honor to Michael Crichtons and the Masterpiece of Steven Spielberg, without Crichton we would have had Jurassic Park. I could talk a whole day about how amazing this Show is. DreamWorks still got it, sadly right now not with their series that are based on their movies. But they will hit their strike again, I hope. It’s also the best promoted Jurassic Content since the original Jurassic Park and Camp Createaous.

I am going to take a deep breath and just remind you:

Writing is messy, even for the best authors. It's supposed to feel a little uncomfortable, exhilarating, freeing, natural, and terrifying.

It's supposed to inspire you and feel like a too-heavy backpack.

Sometimes, you're going to love being a writer and sometimes, you'll feel so disconnected, you'll wonder if you were ever a writer to begin with.

Give yourself room to make mistakes and hate your work and return to it with renewed confidence that yes, you will get 1% better next time.

It's what we're all going through. Let's speed up the growing process a little by accepting the entirety of it.

Hello Writers Community out there!

How do you know that you’re story is good enough?

I love this 😂🤭

Favorite Movie Soundtracks

Since I was a little kid I loved film music. The epicness of some of the themes, the feeling they awake inside you, the scenes or openings they play in…
