Melissa Smith

My path as a spiritual author and intuitive guide began in my childhood when I discovered a passion for exploring mystical symbols and traditions beyond the confines of mainstream belief systems. After university, I deepened my studies of esoteric wisdom and ancient divination practices during extended stays at spiritual communities abroad.   Today I blend scholarly research of metaphysical topics with hands-on guidance rooted in over a decade of professional experience. My passion is helping fellow seekers cultivate an intimate relationship with their intuition to unlock deeper fulfillment, self-understanding and purpose.

Chapter One

My Strings Need Tuning;

this G is Flat

What’s up! This is your girl Mel again, her reading from my high school journal. As I read the events and emotions of my youth, I will be explaining how I better understand things now as an adult. So, okay here’s the deal so far, my friends have been bothering me about this problem they, have with me not having or wanting a man. On top of that, it was the first week of school. So not only do I have my friends annoying me but my teachers as well. With all that going on we had a show that weekend. We’ve played shows before but this time people from the school were going to know about it and be there. At least the show went well. There were so many people. If you didn’t know, my friends and I have a band called Theory of Rebellion. Most of the crowd was from our school that night. Thanks to our principal who made it a point to help support the hobbies of the student who showed initiative in positive activities. Plus, the man of my dreams, who happens to have a crush on me, plays in one of the other bands playing that night! So, you can understand what I went through. If not, here it is. Pain and Terror!

I left off with Lisa fussing at me in the last recording session. That little moment between friends was just that. It happened, and we went on and played as we always did. After practice, I went that evening thinking about the show and how Luis came on to me. It was cool. I did like it but it’s not what I wanted. Not right now, not for me. I still believed that I don’t need a man even If he is the one I want. Maybe he shouldn’t have waited three years to say something. I had met someone like him before the evil changes, we could have been good together. 

I can’t believe he did that. After I made a big deal out of not wanting anyone, the man (or boy) of my dreams tells me he likes me and has always liked me. Most of all I can’t believe how he’s change, he used to be the nerdiest guy I’ve ever seen. With those glasses and that messy bed hair that made you want to brush your hair. The tight jeans made him look like he just fell out of the ’٨٠s. (Note: tight jeans at the time was not cool on guys). Then there were his ugly tops. Wool tee shirts with pockets. Which wouldn’t be so bad if the collar wasn’t so stretched out of shape. Who puts tee shirts on hangers? Who! He did! How did he turn into that hottie of a rock star? He changed his style and conformed his personality and to what his music stereotypes him to be. That’s how.

Teen Mel:

His letter to me came as a shock. Did he think that I was going to like him better if I found out that he was a liar? So, you can see why I just can’t wait to read it again. How can he be so sweet and then such a jerk, and why would he risk telling me? I think I’m losing it. Why was I thinking so much about this? He just had to tell me that he was that nerd. I don’t know what to do. Hay! Maybe he thinks that he can hide the other sides of his-self. What am I supposed to do? Forget that I know him already and find this guy to be awesome. I liked the geek better. (Even if I don’t like his stupid outfit.) If he really liked me, he would know that he should tone it down. I understand putting on a show as a performer. That, I respect. I mean who does he think he is trying to hit on me as G sharp. I went straight up to my room and opened my laptop to pulled open the email with a big smile on my face. (I made no sense back then.)

Dear, Melody

I know you don’t remember me. Herald is my cousin. (I guess that’s nice he tells me who he is by his relationship with someone I know a bit better than him. thinking to myself as I read it. Trying to be cool about it all.) The first time you played here I was helping my dad out at the club. I loved seeing you sing and started playing the bass so that we would have something in common, you know to have something to talk about. (Maybe I should feel honored that I inspired someone to play. Even if he did do it just to hit on me. If he had gone with this music plan and talked to me about playing guitars, I wouldn’t be so mad.) I never got the nerve to talk to you until now. Without my new personality, I’m just too shy to approach you. (Aww how sweet. Like I care. He he he.) Please don’t think I’m just a young man with a shy heart. I wish I could just talk to you, but I can’t, not yet. (Why the hell not you did it at the show.)

Love, Luis

P.S. Email me at [e-mail] (Sharp is also a music sign that Luis us as part of his name.)

I felt it was time to ask G sharp what he wanted from me. I just couldn’t believe that someone would do such a thing, and I was going to put a stop to it. I had a hard time thinking of what to tell him. 

Star Mel:   

Wow! I was all over the place. I know he wanted to see if we could date. I wanted to come up with every reason I didn’t need to find out if I really could like him. I was being a giant hypocrite. I go all day trying to convince people that I’m scary Mel the nu metal goth that will kick you If I think you’re going to hurt me. I hid every day and chose my words to keep people out. 

Dear, GSharp (Sharp) 

I can’t get you out of my mind. Your letter is disturbing to me. I have a hard time believing that you would risk revealing your real self to someone who may just put it in a song for all to hear. So, I need your word that you will forget this whole thing. I don’t care if you continue to like me just don’t let me find out about it. This is not a good time in my life to be getting love letters from the man of my dreams.

Later, Mel

As fast as I
