There are five people living in this room now.
No one knows whose shoes these are.

Control is an illusion.
Need less, share more.
Without a roommate I never would have had these pomegranates.

I'm an only child of a single mother.

I want to write more poetry. I do so enjoy reading other peoples'. I want to make a tiny cardboard forest. I want to write letters to people I've never met. I want more pomegranates.
