I woke up by the sounds of birds singing. The random whistles melded together to create a melody never heard before and couldn’t be repeated. I pushed against the dewy ground to an upright position. There was something about the crisp morning air that filled my lungs with life. The trees towered over me, shielding [...]

Perhaps not the exact answer, but she knew there was so much that I had experienced in life that the only honest answer would be a simple “yes”. The truth—I refused to acknowledge [...]
