Imagine a picturesque scene featuring a baby crow perched tentatively at the edge of a nest, high atop a towering tree. The nest is intricately woven from twigs and sits securely in the crook of a branch. Below, a breathtaking landscape unfolds: rolling green hills dotted with colorful wildflowers, a meandering river sparkling under the sun, and distant mountains shrouded in mist. The world below is alive with the vibrant hues of nature, offering a stark contrast to the crow's temporary sanctuary. The baby crow looks down, embodying both curiosity and hesitation, as if contemplating the vast unknown awaiting beyond the safety of its nest.

Do you want to be with me forever? Because I actually do. I keep telling myself I need to get out there and be a big dog. Stop being a writer and go impress my buddies on the golf course. But then that Coldplay song comes on shuffle on Spotify, and these days I’ve been thinking the algorithm has divine wisdom.
