Following Scents Between Train Stops — A Journey Inspired by Perfume
Between the first and second day of my train journey,I found myself becoming a little like the protagonist of Perfume —drawn not by maps or plans,but by scents carried gently through each town.

✨ “Westbound, with a Pocketful of Curiosity”

I Raise My Flag of Stories

Welcome to Gloria Lee’s World

— Stories surge, and I march.

(Author’s Notes)

There’s a beat in my chest that won’t quiet down.
Not fear—momentum.

I used to “look for” good stories.
But lately, I don’t search.
They surge—like bright birds launched from the trees of my mind.

I step onto the field with ink on my fingers,
and a calm fire in my lungs.
My words are not weapons to wound,
but lamps—small lights I can pass into another’s hands.

I will march with tenderness and precision.
I will choose details like a craftswoman chooses her tools.
I will honor myth, memory, and the quiet rooms of the heart.
And when a story arrives, I will not hesitate.
I will stand, lift my flag, and tell it.

This is my vow as a storyteller:
To listen fiercely.
To shape bravely.
To offer beauty that steadies the soul.
One tale at a time.

— Gloria Lee
