But nonetheless....

In a strange land far far away, there once lived a little mermaid called Lily. Lily was lonely and sad because she did not have a sea to live in. She wandered far and wide searching for her sea. Pools of water, rivers and streams beckoned to her but she wanted only her sea.

Quite suddenly, she stumbled upon a really beautiful sea. The sea seemed too good to be true.  It was  kind  and warm and had everything Lily could ever want. She was really excited. Eagerly, she ran to the sea and made friends with it. The sea totally adored Lily, and they had a great time being with each other. It was the happiest she had ever been.

The sea invited Lily to come and live in it but for some reason Lily was hesitant. She preferred to stay outside the sea and just talk to it instead. The sea could not understand why Lily felt this way.

One day was a terrible thunderstorm. Lily was scared and ran to the sea but the sea was horribly harsh.

But I always am rough during thunderstorms. I cannot really help it...

In the calm before the storm, what did Lily see but sharks in the sea..Many many bloodthirsty sharks...She was petrified...Eyes wide with fear, she asked the sea about the sharks....

Oh they wont hurt you...they belong to me, they have lived with me forever.....

Lily believed the sea and she stepped into it for the first time....

We dont want you, you are not one of us...spat the sharks, and chased her out....there was blood and tears everywhere....

The sea was puzzled....the sharks have never bitten anyone before,  you mustve done something to annoy them.....

Ive done nothing....cried Lily, wringing her hands, but the sea did not believe her.....

Can you tell the sharks to leave me alone? ....she asked 

I cant do that...I cant upset my sharks...Dont you have my love? Isnt that all you need? Sharks will be there in every sea...

But it hurts to to be bitten...and I dont deserve to be hurt for no reason....said Lily...

Well, if you have to be here, you have to tolerate the sharks, my dear...its the only way you can live in this sea......

Lily could not understand it....but she understood only too clearly her place in the life of the sea....

and so there was Lily, lonely and sad once again...

P.S. Dont ask me what this damn story means, Ive no idea. Its just  a dream Ive had like a million times!
