“Biggest plotwist tho is that I've never felt more certain of my beauty and my power. Is this what happens now? Now that what's left alive of them lives in me?” - Angel Nafis
And Edwidge Danticat in conversation with Aja Monet says something similar too when her parents pass. That her writing brings them into life, and they bring her to her writing. That they really felt with her and in all she created, after they were in that new realm.
Is this how it goes? Something I contemplated and felt after thathayya too, especially the meeru to the nuvvu and the way he let me guided me guides me to the light and freedom and belief in myself here. in this creative space, tho i had hoped to use it all to be with him more. maybe this too is another plan, and he is here as a part of me with me on me, part of me, bigger than me, my love, my meaning. my light my love. now within me, absorbed into me, a guardian with me? be with me and teach me still. thank you always for your neverending smile and your unending love
