In the mirror, I saw myself in my first Kimono looking mature beyond my years.
Dressed in the finest for the day’s ceremony.
A few seconds before my father pressed the shutter
button of his camera, I met his gaze and straightened my back.

On this special day, I chose a unique pattern that would ensure I stood out, To celebrate my coming of age in a special Kimono.
I chose to walk on a path that’s uniquely my own.
The

That was me at twenty years of age.
I waited impatiently for my special friend in the summer heat, the one who set my heart aflutter whenever we met.

walked down the aisle together.
I giggled nervously at the serious face of my mother as she adjusted the obi around my waist.
That was the day I left my home for good.
