instead of just waiting for your turn to talk again, instead of just thinking about the wittiest thing you can say next, the whole time.

A story book by FloLady Ochie.
Illustrations by Yola Blackenthered.

Just like greeting her {the Author} for the very first time nine years ago, opening this book gives a similar feeling of familiarity, as if you've already known her for years, but at the same time also a sense of mystery, since she was actually someone I had never met face to face before. And it was {is} lovely.

Following Crestfallen and her flowers and cigarettes, also gives a similar feeling of recognition, through some of the scenes I might had encountered along our time together in the past, but at the same time also a sense of revelation, from her personal adaptations of the things she had suffered, persevered, and conquered throughout the years, that was probably never completely visible to everyone, including myself. And it is spiritual.

Finishing this book eventually brings me a feeling of admiration, for her courage in acknowledging frailty, her strength in persisting for herself, her honesty in being human, whom just like many of us is always in a perpetual cycle of the fight for happiness. And it is {will always be} worthy.
