june

This month was really special for me, so I’m writing about it as a way to make sure I remember it.

It started with celebrations 

my dad’s 70th birthday in California ❤️

my friend Kerry’s wedding in Philadelphia

my return to Brooklyn

For the first time ever…

I read my writing at an open mic at Parlay

and then went to lay in the grass at Sunset Park to let myself breathe

I got a new tattoo at Long Time Tattoo

and got a glimpse of what’s possible

I’m picking up things I’ve enjoyed in the past

learning the piano and bouldering

and I’m reestablishing routines that have always nourished me

playing basketball and working out

I went to a queer Asian picnic (shout out q-wave) and my first Pat

I cried a lot (😭)

I said goodbye to parts of myself I don’t need anymore

and welcomed back parts that I’ve missed dearly

I’m reminding myself that this

is living.

happy pride 🏳️‍🌈
