• Glass

  After trauma I kept repeating reactions to it as if I was fighting with a ghost. I felt really humiliated when the same experiences happened again. My friends and family looked at me like I was crazy. What’s wrong with her she used to be a smart girl. Why can’t she figure this out. The…

• The fall of summer

  The taste of apple, kale and ginger reminds me of the first day of fall, maybe even before that actually, more like the first day in the summer when you knew it was ending. The memory of summer feels like one long day that turned into one long night. Warm and hazy, I swam through…

• dembow, and other emotions

  Do you know what fear feels like? It’s like I’ve only ever stood at the window looking out at it, but I found myself in there. Like landing in a new country, I never knew that this is what fear felt like. I had been depressed and anxious and so dreadfully scared without rest, that…
