southern wind blows north
gleeful eyes look up at the
strange dangling black fruits

Lily is really not the best at describing herself, so she'll put this down for now and circle back when (if) she's inspired. For now, she wants you to know that she's your verbose friend who rarely knows what to say.

The Audacity of Awakening
The reason many women lead such exhausting lives is not a lack of capability, but a surplus of patience. They spend years waiting—waiting for a partner to mature, waiting for someone to finally show they care, or waiting for a golden opportunity that is never destined to arrive. Eventually, a realization sets in: waiting is nothing more than slow exhaustion, while the "dare" is the act of turning around and walking away.
