“Mackenzie, do you want to go out for dinner?”, Minseok asked as he took a seat next to me on the couch.

As I lay on my bed, listening to my pick of piano covers on Spotify, I gazed up at the glow in the dark stars on my ceiling. A feeling of hopelessness engulfed me. It wasn’t the sad kind, it was more of a ‘it is what it is’ kind of feeling. That is when... Continue Reading →
“Min, seriously, where are we going?”, I asked Minseok as the route he was taking lead off onto mud road. “We’re almost there…”, he replied, and as if right on cue, in the distance I spotted a clearing overlooking a lake. “Is this the same lake outside our house?” “Yes, we are on the opposite...
