Hi, my name is Marina!

Shining golden bracelets on shimmering silk that reflects the midnight sky.  The shuddering breath of uncertainty that comes as if you are standing on the edge of a cliff, the sea rolling below.  A kiss that feels like fluttering wings: that lightest brush that makes your stomach flip and your heartbeat dance.  Rain falling against a window; softly at first, but the beat becoming louder and more relentless as time wears on until a storm is raging outside your calm and quiet home.  The hypnotic ebbing of the waves at the beach and the lazy warmth of the sun lulling you to sleep.

Austin, (male)?

Sipping sweet lemonade on a hot day, feeling the cold trickle of its relief slipping down your throat.  Skipping stones at sunset when every ripple in the water is a silken shadow, and the stones you throw feel familiar in some way.  The sharp crunch of gravel beneath your heels, the noise grating your ears but somehow you don’t mind.  Camping under the stars and feeling at home with your place in the world, content just looking at the midnight sky.  Singing songs with your friends at the top of your lungs, all of you somewhere on the scale of laughing and breathless.  A lazy summer day where even your thoughts feel sluggish, as if the very air itself has turned to molasses and you cannot help breathing in its viscosity.

Frida

The power in your limbs and rush of wind through your hair when you sprint down a hill.  Quiet murmurs passed between lovers before they sleep; gentle, warm, and full of adoration.  An unstoppable smile that you simply cannot conceal no matter how hard you try, and the fluttering happiness in your stomach that accompanies it.  The simple joy of finger-painting as a child; watching the colours blend before your eyes, and the endearing mess that comes from it.

My name is Toni, Female not male :)

Floating in completely still water, hearing the sound of your own heartbeat, feeling the pulse in your toes.  The unstoppable desire you have to fling your arms in the air and dance freely when you hear your favourite song.  A private smile shared between friends.  The prickly feeling of grass under you as you gaze at the clouds.  A drumbeat that feels like it’s moving through your veins and encasing you in its pulsating rhythm; beating so loud you can’t feel your heartbeat anymore and instead feel only the boom of the drum in your chest.

My name is Alena

The perfect sheen of mother-of-pearl.  Waking up after it has snowed to sweet, soft silence and the cold beauty of trees that look as if they have been coated in icing sugar.  Being kissed on the forehead by a loved one in parting; bittersweet and gentle.  The vast wonder but delicate beauty of the clear night sky, every star glittering like a tiny diamond.  A dancer’s poise and power; the curve of their neck, arch of their back, the long lines of their arms and legs; every part of them honed like a flawless weapon, ready to strike.

I'm Anna!

The absolute comfort of a long and necessary hug.  Watching fireworks explode in the sky above you, the light splashing your face with every burst of colour, feeling every resounding boom in your chest like another heartbeat.  The fullness of pride in your stomach when you were right all along.  When you realize something and your mind feels clear and endless, like the dizzying view on a cloudless day from the top of a mountain, the height making you suddenly aware of your own heartbeat.  The curl of your mouth as you make a joke.

Hey my name's Kiran

The radiant smiles of your friends, especially after they’ve been cheered up on a bad day.  A small breeze cutting through the heat of a summer day and ruffling your hair.  Lucid dreams where you have the comforting sense that nothing can harm you and that you need not worry about anything.  The triumphant feeling of getting a great mark on a test that you put all your effort into studying for.  Having complete and reciprocated trust in another person.

My name is Sophie :)

Slightly translucent lace dresses that skim over hips and curves.  When you run your hands over the top of long grass, feeling every tickle in your palm.  The flush of your cheeks that you get from dancing to your favourite songs at full blast, and the gasping laughter shared between friends after a good joke.  Carbonated drinks fizzing on your tongue, their taste sweet and light.

I'm Theodora

The feel of old parchment and worn leather that have been bound together to create works of art.  A soft sigh that escapes your lips when returning to bed after a long day, when you feel like you’ve thrown yourself into a warm cloud.  The faint, lingering scent of floral perfume that’s almost faded; a secret which falls ambiguously between reality and the fiction of your mind.  A sudden gust of wind that knocks your hat off your head, steals your breath, tangles your hair, leaves you dizzy and craving another rush of air to clear your head.
