Glimmer

FROM DECEMBER 2023 ISSUE OF WEST END PHOENIX

Glimmer komik by Althea Balmes

Glimmer komik by Althea Balmes

"Glimmer is a word that I was recently re-introduced to, as a way of describing the little joys in life"

"In a shifting city, I know they are not always easy to find."

"Which is why sometimes, you kind of have to make them yourself. Do you know how?"

"When you go out in the city and something catches your attention."

"Let it pull you in, even if it makes you feel dumb."

"You will probably get stuck in that feeling for a while. But don't give up!"

"Eventually you'll get to the feeling like, "Yeah, okay, that wasn't so bad" or "That was kinda fun.""

"Just give yourself permission not to take life in the city so seriously."

"And maybe you become the reason for someone else's glimmer."

"Sometimes, the experience is enough to fuel your own joy."
