If sunshine could become a person, it would probably look a little like Celestine.

She grew up in an orphanage where she learned that love isn't always something you're born into-sometimes, it's something you create yourself. That's why she has a habit of making people feel seen. She remembers birthdays, notices when someone hasn't eaten, carries snacks in her bag, and never lets anyone leave without asking if they got home safely.

She has a quiet belief that kindness always finds its way back.

She spends slow afternoons painting flowers, crocheting little gifts for friends, baking pastries that rarely last a day, and wandering through flower shops just to admire what's in bloom.

Despite always being surrounded by people, there are parts of her heart she's never learned to care for. She's so used to becoming everyone else's safe place that she forgets she deserves one too.

Maybe that's what college is for.

Maybe that's where flowers learn to bloom.

"Flowers don't bloom because the world is kind to them. They bloom because that's what they were made to do."
