a love letter to sakurarose

There is not a single word in the entire world that can describe how much I love and adore this human being. She is just the most supportive, encouraging, and all around brilliant person I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

I met her about a couple months ago on another writing website after reading her magnificent piece, "oh aphrodite, why must tragedy befall you?" Now, of course I had seen her around before, but I never interacted with her before that. I can still remember the giddiness of replying to each others' comments, the excitement of meeting another writer as passionate about it as I was, the thrill of an inkling of a new friendship.

Talking with her has been one of the most uplifting moments of my day. She is just a fireball of positive energy and a delight to talk to. From time to time, we'll get nostalgic and reminisce about our childhood youth. Everything I get to know about her is just precious, because she's just darling. She has such a kind heart that it astounds me that someone as kind as her exists, she is just so insightful that she makes me strive to become better, she talks with you in the way that even though we're thousands of miles apart from each other, you know she cares deeply for you. She is certainly one of my favorite people on Earth, if not the universe.

Now let's talk about her writing, since that's what this challenge is about after all, isn't it? There is no way to describe her writing, because she writes in a hopeful manner, she writes as if she is crafting stardust into words, as if she is one with the stars above, as if she is the world and the world is her. She writes like a dreamer, and every time she publishes something, I just get so excited. To prove my point, here's some fantastic pieces written by her: "and i will declare my love for you under these stars." Honestly, this piece is just so cozy and warm, sending those endorphins of youth your way. It's just so homey in her descriptions and everything about it is just like someone wrapped up your childhood in a neat little present and bestowed it upon you. "neverland" Want a classic retell of Peter Pan with a little stardust added in? This is for sure a go-to piece. Every word drips with care and it's just sheer brilliance. It's all so thoughtfully written and honestly everything about it is just darling. She has such a way with words, being able to intricately craft strings of words together. "child of the stars" Her relations to stars with each line is just so beautifully told. It's beautiful the way she writes, and this piece especially shows it. There are shifts in views between the ideas of stardust, starting out negatively but then portrayed in a positive manner, it's just a lovely portrayal all in all.

I could go on and on about her pieces, but these are by far my favorites by her, and of course "oh aphrodite, why must tragedy befall you?" A perfect entanglement of Greek mythology and toxic relationships, and let's not forget the roses! There is pain in this piece, raw and real and so heartfelt that it pulls at your heartstrings. Everything about it is just beauteous and if you have time, definitely go give it a read!

There is a way she strings words together, as if she were a goddess crafting lines and lines of words together. Her writing is so thought-provoking and all in all heavenly. She may have only 11 pieces published, but I can assure you that each one is intricately written and just a blessing for your eyes to read. Even her social posts are just heavenly to read, because you can tell how genuine and kind she is.

I've only known sakurarose for a couple of months. I don't know how she looks like, how her voice sounds, or even her name, but I don't need to know those things to know who she is. Because I know just how kind and sweet and how wonderful a human she is. She makes me smile in between classes and makes my heart swell with each of her comments and messages. She is encouraging and makes me strive to become a better writer. Her writing truly reflects her and it's just a wonder to read, as well as an awe-inspiring experience. She is an absolutely delightful person. There may be thousands of miles between us, but on this side of the screen I can truly say that she has been an amazing friend that I have the honor of knowing.

Love you girl!
