After Dawn

by Edison Dizon

The world is made up of little uplifting spaces. Others find it to be daring and allowing their womanhood to step up and break gender norms. Others find it through the warmth of friendships and knowing that you’re taken as a whole, with no single crumb left. Others associate it with the idea of an afterlife, with the possibility that pain will no longer have an impact on your frailty. Others find it in nature or love. Others see it through seeking revenge or letting go of some unworkable dreams. Others find it through inflicting pain on others. While for some, it goes through embracing their true identity. Others, we found it at home, where the family gathers together and just find the summer pleasantness of being complete.

We’re made up of little freedoms, of little fights. We have perfect fits on someone’s life. This world, although a bit messy, is also made of little breathing spaces. Sometimes, we find for it. Most of the time, it founds us.
