  • Paradox

    Love is a paradoxical thing. 

    I want desperately to be loved. 

    I want to wake up to a "good morning, my favorite person" text. 

    I want the last thing I see at night to be a little red heart emoji.

  • The GreenSpot

    Once, there was a little girl.

    She was around 7 years old at the time,

    and lived with her mother and father

    in a little red house, in a little green forest.

    They made chicken soup on their little stove

    One summer, when I was about five years old, I abruptly glanced upon the vast sea with new eyes, ones that saw the water that I used to love so dearly in a petrifying new light.
