2023 has been a rollercoaster -- in the span of one year i feel like i've aged five. so much has changed for me since january - in no small part because i met someone and fell in love. i am still figuring my shit out. i am still finding my sea legs. but lately, i feel a quiet confidence that i can handle what comes my way. i feel warmth and community and care beyond my wildest fantasies. "the thing about love is that it collapses the temporal order. instead of walking down the street you leap across the field."
