Searching for Sylvie Lee

by Jean Kwok

Nowadays, we all lived in a time boundary when emotion defeated logic, an era when gut feeling reigned over rationality.

When you truly love someone and you see them again, even if it is many years later, their new face blends back into their old face and it is like no time has passed at all.

I learned that if you do not speak, no one will ever hear you.”

“When you love someone, there is no shame. When I see you, I only know that you are my grandma and you are beautiful. You did this for me when I was young. Now it is my turn. You always said, the old become children once again.”

In love and life, we never know when we are telling ourselves stories. We are the ultimate unreliable narrators.

while nothing can replace that which is lost, emptiness creates room for new growth.
