The Girl Whose Islands Are Sinking

I'm the girl who's losing her islands, but finding herself.

My name is Riley, and I'm eleven. My head used to be full of islands—made of memories, powered by laughter, scored goals, and bedtime stories. Then we moved from Minnesota to San Francisco, and everything started sinking. I thought if I stayed happy, everything would fix itself. But sometimes, you gotta sit with the sad to find what's real.

What I'm Into: Core Memories, Hockey pucks, Sinking islands, Sadness, Finding home
