oh to be alive. to live. what a beautiful, complicated, messy thing. emezi’s writing is so honest and riveting. i was captivated at the very start. a gorgeous and raw exploration of grief, friendship, love, art and healing. an ode to not only love yourself but to live by you, and what you want and feel. because its the only life you got, time on this earth is never certain.
