Between the hours I question and argue for my self-worth, I am this obnoxiously self-centered happy child that no tragedy can break. Fleeting moments of how everything is perfect, even flaws are part essence of perfection that we embrace all that it is as it is. Gloriously golden. Many a time, we stop dreaming when [...]

The concept of ‘coming-of-age’ in this time of history and political state, I think it to be irrelevant. Society used to tell me, and they still say, that experience comes with age.
