This short story series submission is from Monisha Kumar of Port Coquitlam.
I fell hard, deep into the abyss of the arms of my city of Port Coquitlam. I fell hard for the beauty that surrounds us all around, the serenity of the mountains, luscious foliage that expands in the horizon as far as our vision can take us. I fell hard for those days when the sun is not shining, and dark clouds envelope us, restoring my love for the colour grey.
Despite going through the most challenging time of my life of finding a job, finding sustenance, I was hit with the epiphany of how lucky I was to be standing here, to be able to call this place my home. PoCo embraced me with open arms and comforted me, telling me how everything was going to be all right. That I am not alone.
But I have come to realize that good things don’t always last, so why not take this opportunity to appreciate something before things change? Because change is the only constant, right?
