“It’s 3 am and I’m calling and it’s me feeling like Rome and it’s you feeling like Paris; I am built on ruins and you’re built on promises of love. I want to talk to you about how I once held glory for the rest of me is ancient history. Remember when I burned for a day? I felt beautiful that day and I wish you have something to say to me tonight, my city of light. I wish you could answer the goddamn phone but then you’re probably sleeping, and I’m crying.”

Juansen Dizon, My City of Light 

“I want to be the kind of person who can … move on and forgive people and be healthy and happy. It seems like an easy thing to do in my head. But it’s not so easy when you try it in real life.”

Susanane Colasanti
