Married to Green
We planned on getting married 12/20... But that was before an entire pandemic broke out. On the nice cool breezy day of February 21, 2020, my boyfriend proposed to me! We decided we would get married on the day we became officially exclusive to one another-- which was December 11th, 2017-- and it would have worked out perfectly, being that December 11th, 2020 was a Friday. We would have celebrated the entire weekend. March something of 2020, the president announced that we have to limit gatherings and we instantly stopped planning. It felt like no point in carrying on.

Colorways
2:58 a.m., I gaze around the room finding dark shadows and shapes that are unfamiliar. I try using the moonlight to determine where my glasses are. As I walk to the kitchen for a glass of water, I pace through the dark blue hallway where I see darker blue figures on the ground. I flip the light. My eyes squint until they adjust. Red and purple squeaky toys decorate my carpet and I can't help but smile.
