Little Haiti
I was in little Haiti which is probably the worst neighbourhood in Miami and I booked a cheap hotel by accident not knowing how bad the neighbourhood was. The hostel itself was decent for the price and people moved with an eerie but harmless quiet. I shared a room with a girl that told me…

On the road, far away
I’m not sure this is heartbreak. I don’t know what this is. I don’t think about him. I’m not the person that thinks about him. I’m not the person that reminds me of the kind of person that likes him and wants his approval. I’m not the same person that moved to his city or…
