this story changed the trajectory of my life because of this story, I am a writer. because of this story, I found magic in poetry. one summer sent me on a path I have been navigating ever since. being a writer means being motivated by what scares me what empowers me to write stories like Patti and Robert’s, one of young artists discovering their way through life together, creating, exploring, believing in themselves and each other. their story has inspired me over the last decade, every time i look at the blue star on my ankle i smile.
