When I was just two years old, my parents put me on a plane and brought me to the beautiful island of Sardinia, Italy. After our first trip there, we couldn’t help but spend one month vacationing there each summer. Sardinia is where my journey begins.
The island feels like a second home to … Continue Reading ››

Sophie Poems- Draft
I huddle in the lap of a stranger whose lap is warm.
Shaking in their lap.
I have never trusted humans,
And I wasn’t sure how to interact with this one.

My eyes begin to droop,
Letting a few whimpers out,
I am returned to the first stranger’s lap.
While I try to drift away, there are … Continue Reading ››

Dream and flashbacks could relate to a lost family member, … Continue Reading ››
