SUMMER has always been the most mesmerizing and delicate of the four seasons. The scent of fresh, salty air and the gorgeous melodies sung by wild and free birds give me a sense of comfort and love—something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time.

Love is a complex and heartbreaking emotion. To me, love can be both cruel and beautiful. I’ve rejected many people in my life, mostly because they weren’t meant for me—at least, that’s what my heart told me.

One day, as I opened my window, a small paper plane flew straight into my white and welcoming room. Surprised, I picked it up from my baby pink rug. I was curious: why would a paper plane enter my room? Questions filled my confused and racing mind as I desperately tried to find an answer.

When I unfolded it, I immediately noticed the beautiful, cursive handwriting. It was so mesmerizing that I got lost in it. My heart raced with every breath I took. Curiously, I began to read the letter.
