The following story started off as a dream—one of those vivid dreams for which you force yourself back to sleep in order to experience once more. The main character was a little black girl with amazing dreams. Every night she would explore her mind through wonderful colors and wake up to share her adventures through sketches. Her art was always her way of weathering through a storm. As I woke and made my dreams her story, I soon realized that she was a girl who felt and dreamt so much, unfortunately learning that both also had their disadvantages. Let her teach you, as she learns herself, that feeling is the best way to explore this world.
