Literal Back Pains

SamBakza finally uploaded the Final Step to There She Is!. For those of you who don't know what There She is! is, it is a love story about a bunny and a cat. They live in a society where they cannot love each other because cats and bunnies are segregated, but the bunny, the girl, always chases after the cat even when he doesn't show any interest. I'm not going to ruin the ending, so watch it!!

I really admired this animation, which started 5 years ago, because it reminded me of my situation. It was inspiring and delightful. I, and so did the creator, thought it was only going to be one short, but it was so popular that they created 4 more parts. I watched the last one yesterday. I almost cried because I just don't like when things end, especially very meaningful pieces. I almost cried after reading Alexie's book the other day. haha I don't understand why I'm so sentimental about certain things. Anyways, I'll always look back at There She is! and smile because it reminds me a lot of how I used to feel.

Amiss is Not to be Confused with Miss
Pauline Hsia

In the dark courtyard,
Behind the bicycle and coal cinders,
They meet with warm eyes and rubbish.
Months, translucent, outline his mouth,
Days consume her aging eyes,
Seconds tick on, surging into bodies,
Upon Atlas's shoulders, uncontrollable.
Too late the heinous crime committed,
Iron doors shut for both,
For such a thing was missing,
For such a thing was being waited for.
