At first, I planned to call The Little Green Tangerine Is So Sour “Liking You Isn’t a Bonus.” Later, I felt the title was too long, so I changed it to the current one. The story was inspired by my own life, though I’ve made changes and added to it.
When we’re young and inexperienced, our differing feelings of love and romance are part of growing up.
It’s like a little green tangerine: though we’re afraid it’ll be sour, we can’t help but take a bite. The first moment is a thrilling sweetness, followed by a rush of intense sourness.
We can’t avoid the hormones of youth, but we can learn how to treat one another with care, respect, and love. We stand as equals, and we all deserve to be loved by someone good. While we’re here in this world, we can also roam through different wildernesses.
