These moments made me remember my first paper boat again. I still remember how I felt that day. Someone had taught me to make paper boats. I made my first one and placed it on a stream of water while it was raining, and watched the boat float and move a bit while my heart began to fill with joy. And then suddenly, that boat began to sink. I panicked and tried to pick it back up to make it float again. And the moment I began trying, it started getting torn into pieces. The more I tried, the more pieces of it I had in my hand. That day, when I held those pieces of my first paper boat in my hand, standing under that rain, realizing that the paper boats sink. I felt something. Something that can never be caged in mere words.
