Excerpt:
It was easy to get torn apart by feelings you didn’t understand. Maya had gained so many in the last year she didn’t know what to do with them. Instead of trying to figure out what they were or how they even began, she just bottled them up. Stashed them in containers with no labels and threw them in her dungeon of sadness.
That’s probably not where they should’ve gone, but she wasn’t in the mood to organise anything that wasn’t her art supplies or schoolbooks.
Yet the longer she left it, the harder it would be to sort anything out.
