1) two little girls fight over a toy, a pink hair clip, a hello kitty bag, an iphone. both tugging with clenched fists over the thing, unrelenting, each screaming “mineee”

2) a young woman on the cusp of adulthood made a decision to live life to the fullest. eager to claim independence and full responsibility for her actions, yet with the condition that nobody tells her what to do.

3) “You are my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased”

4) alone in the quiet of the adoration room, walls embracing the sinner. her thoughts like static noise drowning out everything else when suddenly, “mine” opens the floodgates of her eyes.
