What does 23.5 look like?
It looks sunny and bright, filled with greens and blues. Soothingly colorful. It looks like stars speckled through the night sky, like runways filled with airplanes. Skin canvases filled with tattoos. Lunch tables with diverse friends. It’s filled with sunrises shining through white curtains everyday more beautiful than the one before.
What does 23.5 feel like?
It feels young. Confident. Fresh. Strong. Loving. Adventurous. It’s balanced between dangerous and safe. It feels familiar, but different. A yearning to be more accomplished fueled by a passion of ambition. It feels eager.
What does 23.5 sound like?
Laughter and comforting silence. Smooth rhythms that don’t last long enough. The ringing of phone calls substituting for in person conversations. New neighbors in their raspy voice telling me to be careful. Jokes from reminiscing about old friendships while making new ones. Loud exhales after workouts.
What does 23.5 taste like?
Raw vegetables and tequila, Puerto Rican beans and rice, fried plantains. Chemical free, pure goodness. Sweet as banana bread. Fusions and flavorful food trucks.
The halfway point between 23 and 24. Hello, I am here.
