i escaped the heatwave in Paris and took a 12 hour journey to this tiny island in greece. My mother was famished but i insisted I jump in the sea. I’d been waiting 342 days for this moment. Filled with impatience i ran to the tiny beach below our apartment as if in a movie removing every layer off my body until finally, i reached the water. I felt an instant cleansing. Of what.. im not sure… but for a second i met myself. I knew everything I was and everything i wanted to be. I hadn’t seen her in a while. As soon as the feeling came it was already gone. I floated watching the horizon melt into the water in an infinite sea of blue. I thought to myself, this is what I’ll see when i die. I don’t know if there’s a heaven, but mine, is right here.
