The Sunlit Summer of Awakening Desire
Seventeen, sun-kissed, and unraveling fast.
You remember that summer. The one that felt like it would never end, even as it burned too bright to last. I was seventeen, all books and piano keys and quiet longing, until he showed up—Oliver, golden and unknowable. I didn’t know then that I’d learn to ache in a language I’d never studied. But I don’t regret it. I can’t. Not really.
What I'm Into: the ache of first glances, translating silence into touch, my mother’s old piano, Marzia’s laugh by the river, the taste of ripened peaches
