I can be
A singular letter
In a word
Of a sentence
On a page
Inside a book
Suffocated by others
In a vast library
Hidden in the city that never sleeps
In the green and yellow country of the future
Agonizing on a tiny blue planet

But I can still make noise and awaken your imagination.

Reasons to grow old together Reasons to grow old together
Laura Esteves

Laura Esteves

Laura Esteves builds worlds with words, and dismantles the ones that already exist. She writes about what hurts, what transforms and what refuses to be forgotten. She writes about love, identity and the systems that insist on defining us.

She believes literature is the only place where truth doesn't need permission. Her texts are born from the certainty that every story told with courage is an act of freedom; for whoever writes and whoever reads.
