🌸       STORY.

letitia rhone, born in brooklyn, nyc. when she opens her eyes to the world, she finds herself in a house that does not belong to her really. perhaps that’s the very day her search starts. that’s when she starts to look into her soul to find who she really is because there is nobody else to tell her the story. at least nobody else that is willing to do it. letitia -or tia if you are close enough- grows up with her aunt who has sworn to never and ever tell letitia who her birth mother is and where she is right now. it’s a feeling she has, when she has her head on a pillow, and dark brown eyes are stuck to the ceiling. you don’t belong here. but sometimes it’s clearer. it's a fight between her aunt and her spouse. ‘i don’t want her in this house.’ ‘she doesn’t have anywhere else to go.’ ‘she doesn’t belong here.’

living in a house where voices behind closed doors whisper her she doesn't belong, all she has that feels like belongs to herself is her existence. so, she starts to ask the questions kids normally ask when they are older at a young age. ‘who am i ?’ ‘what are my roots ?’ ‘where do i belong ?’ ‘ will i ever belong ? ’ 

years pass by and every year she gets older, she is reminded of she has to get out of that house. leave it behind and start her own journey. to where ? well, she doesn’t know either but all she knows is she has to get out. that’s why when it’s time to seek higher education, she chooses a university that is as far as possible to her makeshift family -- and that day, the day they say goodbye to letitia before she leaves that house for the first time ever; they don’t know it’s going to be the last memory of hers that is left to them. 

years of university, letitia has her own moment of divine realization. maybe being rootless is not that bad. maybe she is lucky that she’ll never have something to leave behind. suddenly, the bitterness of desolation tastes like freedom. -- her chosen major is psychology. maybe it’s the years she spent trying to understand her true self that makes her want to understand the others too. before she discovers anything else, she rediscovers herself. her beliefs, her thoughts on politics, sexuality and gender. everything she learnt from the others, she relearns them by herself this time. these are the years she shapes who she is and for the first time, belonging is only about being in the right place at the right time. nowhere special.

when she graduates, she already has her own plan to execute. she won’t stay in anywhere too long. so she can meet more people, expand her soul more and always keep on learning. the stays in the cities and countries she visits after graduation are never longer than two years. the most tiring and yet essential experience, the journey. and there she is now, mapleview. the last stop. the only place that she feels tied to somehow. now, she is within her second year living in the town. who knows ? maybe this is going to be the first time she’ll exceed her usual limit of stay.
