Yellowtulips Stories

"i am not throwing away my shot."

"Why do you keep on giving her yellow tulips?" "Do you even know what they mean?" "No." "Well, it means that I'm hopelessly in love with her."

No flower could ever be as beautiful as the gentle boy. Hanahaki disease au · ©bamslegstan 2017 22.3.17-20.4.17

For Vee, love feels like staring at the night sky in the glass lense of the telescope--shimmering,mesmerizing but impossibly distant. At twelve years old, she knows she is just a "child" in everyone's eyes, especially to her seventeen-year-old childhood friend, Xav, who is already on the verge of adulthood and heading off to college. Whenever they spread their cream-white picnic blanket among the yellow tulips, sharing baked brownies, pink cupcakes and the sound of her guitar, Vee feels like the world stands still; yet, it comes with the bittersweet realization that he is a star she can never quite reach. He is her North Star-constant and brilliant-but as she pours their story into her sketchpad and studies the constellations through his telescope, she can't help but wonder if these stolen moments are enough, or if their five-year gap will always feel like light-years of unreachable distance.
