for the better

A non-fiction piece navigating through the love and loss we experience when we're young. From adolescence, where anything between the ground and the sky felt like the expanse of my limits and nothing ever truly felt impossible, to my bitter adulthood birthed out of the small death I lived through, this memoir explores my first heartbreak and the gradual realization that nothing is promised and maybe, some things are for the better.

“There will always be a part of me buried six feet under the bus terminal in the city.”
