Unravelling You
By: Patrixia Suva
My name is Ooshima Hokuto. I’m seventeen years old, and all I ever wanted in life was freedom, and you were the one who gave it to me. All my life, I’ve been constantly pushed around, being forced against my will to live up to my parents’ expectations that weighed heavily on my shoulders. To them, every little thing had to be perfect. I had to be perfect, and I had no choice but to obey them. Life was perfectly dull until you came along that summer afternoon and lit up my colorless world. I was actually very envious of your free spirit. I craved it and you were generous enough to share some of it with me.
