An Open Letter to My Little Heroes
Dear Project S.O.A.R children and those I had to opportunity to meet in the Buffalo City School District, Thank you for changing my life.

Lena
I kept running, despite the damage the cold snow was doing to my feet. I was numb, numb in my body and my mind. I kept running though. The moon was high in the sky and the stars were all visible. The moon lit a lunar path for me across the wide, open field. It was as if God himself had a spotlight on this specific occasion in my life. A hellscape I couldn’t fathom being real life. I wanted to look behind me, but I couldn’t lose my focus. I had no idea where I was going, all I knew that I was in Poland. I knew that I was sixteen years old, I knew that my name was Lena and that I had lost both of my parents. My identity was meaningless to me now. I belonged to the earth, to the snow, to the moon and the night sky. I was no longer a daughter, a friend, or a potential lover.

The Dichotomy of Love
Sometimes I feel that living life is exhasusting. The majority of nights during the week that I look forward to daylight ceasing, and bedtime approaching, is concerning to say the least. I ignore it though. I ignore the blatant shift that is happening in my life. I've been reverting to memories of my past more than daydreaming of my future. I feel nostalgic more than I feel hopeful. I hold in waves of despair and oceans of tears that linger in my body, swelling, with the innate potential of a forceful cascade of salt water behind my eyes. I agree with others to keep the peace. I scoff at romance. I fear that I have lost myself. I can't afford to do that.
