“All I want to do is turn my hands palms-up toward the sun and soak up this moment. To unfurl the flowers, shake out the pollen, let out the buds. Be like a sponge and absorb the impossible—the absence of time. With the scent of seaweed and the feel of another person’s gaze.”

(example: I have been telling my friends for weeks how awesome Hamilton is, and I haven’t been able to convince them, so I finally just started trapping people in rooms and forcing them to listen to it, like this is what it came to)

But I want to make an effort for “Seven Tears at High Tide” by CB Lee. And not just because I like her as a person (though I do, she really is quite sple...
