So many life changing events have happened here in this very city.

I found my best friend, the one who has held my hand through my worst and has helped me achieve my best.

I partook in a relationship that taught me so much about my capability to love, what is too much and what is not (and now I see, could have never been) enough.

I lost a father daughter relationship that hurt me more than anything in this world, when it was actually there.

I had a family that was unbreakable, gathered every Sunday to stay connected, and watched as we slowly fell apart and lost all trust in each other.

And lastly, I watched my mother go through some of the hardest things I'm pretty sure she has ever had to. I admire her strength, she is able to reside in a city that holds so many bad memories and heartaches.

Covina, a simple city to most, but one with countless memories that leave behind a bad taste, and is full of complications, to me.
