  • Green

    When I think of the color green, I think of the trees behind my school. In kindergarten, when kids were cruel and words hurt more than sticks or stones, the trees were there.

  • I made tea

    I made tea this morning.

    I put the leaves in, watching the steam dance with childlike wonder.

    I returned to my laptop, staring at a half finished chapter, the bags under my eyes more apparent than ever.

  • Bittersweet

    I always said that it’d be the best day when I leave this school

    But I’m not so sure now.

    Sure, it wasn’t always easy,

    But I gained so much good:

    The best teacher I’ve ever had.

    The confidence I always needed.

    Swimsuits and twister.

    Getting soaked just for fun.

    This is girlhood.

    This is happiness.

    This is freedom.

    if the flower was no longer free.

  • Morning in Paris

    It’s morning in Paris,

    and the city still sleeps,

    though the sun has long risen

    and the cat has long been stretched in the light

    that washes over the quiet courtyard.

    It’s summer in Paris,

  • A Screenager’s Wake-Up Call

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply immersed in the digital world. My life has been a constant stream of online consumption, whether for academic purposes or purely for personal enjoyment.
