Love

Love

In a rare mood where I want to know what it's like to be unapologetically in love like dumb texts that make me smile and hugs that feel like a whole lifetime I want that kind of love they write about, sing about, make movies about I want it epic and unforgettable. Until then I'll keep working on myself knowing that I'm not fully ready yet but when I am I won't let go easily.

The Witch of Yazoo

In Yazoo, Mississippi there's a strange legend which may have more truth to it than skeptics would like to believe.

According to legend, an old witch lived on the banks of the Yazoo River where she lured fishermen into her hut, tortured and killed them. When word finally got around to law enforcement, the sheriff came looking for the men and the witch fled.

By the time the witch was tracked down, she was found stuck in a pit of quicksand. As she slowly sank, she put a curse on the town of Yazoo stating that she would be back in 20 years to burn to the town to the ground. This happened on May 25, 1884.

The witch was later buried, with a chain placed around her gravestone to keep her from escaping. However, on May 25, 1904, the town of Yazoo caught fire. A news article states that the fire started around 8:30 AM and burned until 5 PM, destroying a total of 200 houses and 36 city blocks estimated at $2,000,000 (about $56,000,000 in today's money) worth of damage. One man was killed in the fire and another, Mayor Holmes, was badly injured.

While stories vary about how the fire actually started, with some saying it was a young boy playing with matches and others saying it was an electrical mishap, the true source of the fire remains unknown.

After the fire was extinguished, the witch's grave was visited and the chain around the grave had been broken. Today, the Glenwood Cemetery can be toured where the witch's headstone still lies, encircled in chains.

I am no mans dream girl. No man could ever imagine and create a woman as complex and beautiful as me.
