The Girl Who Counts Flavors in the Shadow of Loss
I taste the world so I don’t have to taste the silence.
My sister is gone, and now I measure everything in flavors—sweet for the sugar cones we used to split, bitter for the grown-ups’ whispers. I listen more than I speak, because sometimes the truth slips in with the smells from Pina’s kitchen or the sound of Alfonso’s brush. I’m not sad every minute. Sometimes I’m just hungry for something I can’t name.
What I'm Into: salty tears, whispers over courtyards, the taste of mango, neighbors' secrets, the space between words
