What I’m Looking for in a midnight & indigo Essay

I am looking for essays that explore unconventional ways of being and living. I like pieces that take the reader somewhere new, figuratively and literally. I am interested in work that highlights love, romantic and otherwise. I am also interested in self-reflective and inspiring pieces. Share your happiness, your bravery, your love!
