Retain Temperature

Twenty-five years old, less than half a lifetime. I use words as a note to record the tenderness in the bumps and the glimmers in the loneliness. This book is an autobiography, my own autobiography, and a microcosm of the youth of a generation. I treasure all the past, retaining the warmth of the years, which is also the reconciliation with myself - retaining the only remaining warmth in my heart, retaining the past in this cold world, and retaining the uncompromising self.
