not to quote you but: “I will not burn my childhood diaries and rock up to los angeles with a pseudonym and no past," and then “In the end, I’m glad I’m not a female character designed on paper from my own vision alone. I am grateful I am made of the people and cities I’ve known, and that as long as I live, they too shall live.” Love it! this was amazing to read, thank you for sharing <3
I'm processing a grief right now too, one that is not fully my own but tangential to me - the materfamilias of my beloved's family. But while I'm happy to be here supporting them in their time of grief, I feel my heart aching back to my own home and the plants that will not be watered for a month. Thank you for writing about grief and family and place and love, since these are all things I'm puzzling through as well. I wish you peace in your travels and transitions, and I hope the next place holds more healing and living and love for you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts.
