incipient

with pain comes strength, and with love comes loss

but before all that, there's incipient; the beginning

*
Meet Willa, a lower-class genius (well, not-quite, but we're trying) who occasionally shows up to work when summoned and probably (definitely) consumes far too many cups of coffee in a day.

Between her slightly-lunatic grandmother and 'between-jobs-freelance-journalist' boyfriend, Willa tries to maintain her studies and intense internship. Don't even speak of a social life.

If you're waiting for the 'until' then you may want to settle in.
See.. sometimes change is slow, sometimes its surprising.
Sometimes, it out-right slaps you in the face. With a bottle of lotion.

Long story. We should probably start at the beginning.
