#be you.

Be a better you! Love who you are, but adore who you’re going to be. 

The  warm  breeze  of  summer.  The  scent  of  skewers  through  the  market  streets.  Dew  on  a  stranger’s  garden  plants  after  a  difficult  storm.  Even  the  fretful  manner  in  which  the  owner  checks  upon  it.  Even  the  color  brown—caught  by  light—reflects  red.

It  frightens  me.  I  do  not  like  fear,  Muyang.

The  lonely  curve  of  your  back  tells  me  you  wish  to  disappear.  You  look  out  into  the  world  and  see  nothing.  You  are  untethered.  I  want  to  take  your  hand.  I  want  you  to  lift  your  face.

You  were  the  first  person  to  truly  see  me.  Now…

(  Am  I  still  real  to  you?  Do  you  know  I’m  here?  )

There  is  no  point  in  regret.  I  understand.

(  But  sometimes…  )

I  wish  I  could  be  the  boy  I  used  to  be.  I  wish  I  could  open  his  eyes.

For  you:  my  sanctuary…  the  ever  gentle  forest.
