Child TO Adult
By huyen tran BRONZE
South Plainfield, New Jersey

I am from my dada and mommy. From a sickening J.F.K. Hospital to the the loving arms of my family. I am from an old house with a pointy tree to a hammock between two skinny twigs...

Favorite Quote:
the mirror only tells half the story, beauty is found on the inside...<br /> love is blind<br /> only the shadow knows<br /> words said in the heat of anger are never from the heart

Favorite Quote:
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” <br /> ― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum
