…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts 4 — Wednesday, October 26, 2022 Design by Emma Sortor It was 2013. I was going to see “Frozen.” At 10 years old, I had been brewing in a lukewarm stew of stories with true love and happy endings for as long as I could remember.

…Ghosts are real. Maybe not in the ways you’ve heard, but I assure you, they’re very real. I’ve seen ghosts nearly everywhere in my hometown all my life — in every corner of my house, in every school I’ve attended, in every nook and cranny of my neighborhood. Every so often, I take it upon myself to collect these ghosts from their spots — not with a positron pack or vacuums or exorcist tools, per se, but to simply visit them and as...…

…“V oting is at the heart of democracy.” I’ve heard this mantra repeated so many times that, at some point, I became numb to its meaning. Why did voting matter anyway? One vote — my vote — was unlikely to change the result of an election. For a long time, I believed in this line of reasoning; I thought voting was overrated — a waste of time and effort. Looking back now, I wish I hadn’t been so naive. It took the fall of a city fo...…
