Until now, no matter how beautiful a poem I came across, I never underlined it. But recently, I’ve started doing so. If you love something, you should leave a mark. But the truth is, when I’m lost in a poem, I don’t even notice the underlines. A mark. It’s my beautiful mother tongue, which I’ve finally had the chance to reconnect with. Yesterday, I discovered the word “consistently”—a word that is not only beautiful but also precious. Discovery: it’s the feeling of realizing something was right beside me all along, yet I didn’t even know it was there. I think love is like that, too. Thank you.
