This piece is from an ongoing portfolio I’m working on called love/body, to replicate the word somebody, its meaning, and the link between love and the human body, consisting of a collection of studies on love through fiction. Being a writer, I read, and through reading and simple observations of life, I’ve seen a lot of different takes on what love is and how its existence can either build something great or wreck havoc. I wanted to explore all perspectives and takes on it through this portfolio, and through the lens of the body, since I also love biology and all things the human condition. So that’s what this is about! Lots of metaphors and similes about the body, about love—but really, the main theme would have to be the consequences of love as devotion. For my process, I adore prewriting. I list what I want to accomplish, what I want to convey, and even some songs that I think fit the vibe. I write, I linger on it, I leave it alone, I come back to it. I’ve been writing this piece in particular for a few months now, and I think this is its best form.

To me, creativity means to get to create and express exactly what you want when you want to. It means that whatever I create will get people to think and cause a reaction. It means to think uniquely, and unlike the typical norms for the better.
