It's my experience that our relationships require us to ask the most uncomfortable questions of ourselves, of society, and our response to those questions is what shapes who we are. Everything I am stems from these connections.

It Took Getting to This Place in My Growth to Realize
My partner-- or my ex, we’ve been discussing how to reconcile the depth of our care for each other with our complete inability to communicate for a while now-- and I are working side by side, occasionally chuckling about Bernie memes. We’re quiet again, working. As I start to tell my partner “It took getting to this place in my growth to realize” she picks up her phone and starts unlocking the screen. I stop talking.

Bumping into Linear Time
I rang in the new year like many of us did, home, seperate from the people who inspire us to get sparkly and stay up late to cheer and kiss in unison, while wearing old pajamas. Between you, me, and the cats, I went to bed before midnight. A sort of attempt to outrun the loneliness. As these things go, I woke up for no good reason at 11:48PM to pee.
