2: Orphic

"If wishes solved problems, the world would be a very different place."
-Jaye Wells

Orphic (adj.): a mystic Greek religion offering initiates purification of the soul from innate evil and release from the cycle of reincarnation.

Adrianna's POV:

It is a truth mostly acknowledged, that a woman wearing dresses that doesn't cover her back or knee must be a depraved slut or an attention seeker who must be in want of a rich husband.

In a society where the purity of our characters were judged by the length of our dresses and the number of men we slept with- I was often seen as a temptress, a seductress. In plain words, a good for nothing whore, a slut.

There were times I wished I wasn't like this, that my sexual appetite wasn't like that of a manic.

Sex was something I enjoyed, but it was also something my body needed. On a daily basis.

And I couldn't help it.

I was sad, agitated and infuriated that I couldn't help my sex drive.

But I enjoyed it at the same time.

Usually, the tag people put on me and label me as, didn't bother me- but there were times I felt sad for myself. I felt pity for myself.

Pity for not being able to feel fulfillment or love for a certain man, affection to one particular person.

I clutched the bouquet tightly in my hands, the space in my heart growing a bit hollower as I stared at the tombstone.
