I write what hurts my feelings
The pain leads me to what is true.
The pain leads me to what is true.
It is never far from my thoughts that some of us have already said our last words to those who are beloved.
I have been in peri-menopause for a while now, at least three years, I think? Maybe more? I should be keeping better track.
I had a bad dream which was trying to be a good dream, but it was a bad dream because none of it is true.
I felt that I was playing favorites and hurting books’ feelings and my thought process got stuck there for a while.
I want to remember my trans siblings today, but instead I have to witness from afar the same thing that always happens to us: violence, death, hatred.
