@wizkhalifa did we do it right?

First 10k @santamonicaclassic, first time really running with a buddy and it was so great, I think I’m falling in love with the running community. It’s such a rush to see each other do hard things! I’m looking forward to the next one!🏃‍♀️ 💕 taken in Santa Monica, California by @emzao

June was being gay & moving
.
.
.
Photo Descriptions 📸
.
1 - Em, Keo, and Andrew at WeHo pride. We all wore black... It was very hot.
.
2 - Em & Quynh at Dyke Day. The blonde bangs are everything. (We should take more photos next year)
.
3 - QFC meet up at the barrel. Stacy will never take a good photo of me & Ranae will always out pose me. Thems the rules.
.
4 - QCon with the homie. From left to right, Em, Emma, Alex, Keo, Brandon, and Andrew. Being queer and looking at nerdy stuff all day, who could ask for more?
.
5 - Peachie drugged on the way to the vet.
.
6 - Kirby and Keo taking a break at IKEA.
.
.
.
.
I feel like life picked up in June and hasn't slowed down since. Grateful and exhausted all at once. Hopping on QFC's volunteer team has changed my life so immediately. I love being back in the queer community. Through all the craziness of life, I gotta find more time to be around my people. They keep me sane (enough). by @emzao

May was the best time with the best people.
.
.
Visual Descriptions
1) Em getting a beautiful makeover from a three year old.
.
2) 3 very fruity drinks with Phoenix and Keo!
.
3) Taylor's birthday with Keo's where we got a free pretzel that was kind of frozen. Taylor sported a blue cowboy hat that I was very jealous of.
.
4) More RenFaire shenanigans with Quynh and Keo.
.
5) Mike's craft fair where Quynh and I got more "matching" tattoos. We're standing around Mike's pottery booth.
.
6) Dog night where Peach, medium-sized copper colored dog, and Chopper, tiny white fluffy dog, begged for treats from Kirby.
.
7) Post Echo Park Pride with Vinny and Quynh. Spectacular view and immaculate vibes.
.
8) Kirby, wearing a black tank and blue running shoes, pointing at an old beagle, who we've declared mayor of the dog park, Sherlock.
.
9) Peach having puppy teeth even though she's 5.
.
.
.
Despite the constant mental battles I'm fighting with a new diagnosis and weekly therapy (healing isn't linear, trust), when I looked back at all my May adventures, I found myself really lucky. I've been in LA for seven years, met so many incredible people, and done so many life changing things. Little Em wouldn't have expected to look around at a life full of love 2000+ miles away from where they were born. I can't put into words how grateful I am to the homies ♥️ by @emzao

.
2) Chopper (a lil white dog) in his mom's (Kirby's) arms.

I dunno if anyone reads all these captions, but here's a lil life update. At the end of last year, I was in this deep dissociative fog. I snapped out of it enough to realize I needed help, and since then, I've been medicated for ADHD and in weekly therapy sessions. This past month was the first time in a long time that I felt glimpses of myself. Maybe it was being overworked or regularly spending time with people I adore (not all of whom are featured here) or maybe it was some combination of the two? I don't know. I'm trying to heal and couldn't be more grateful to those who have given me space this month to be messy and broken. Words cannot express how good it feels to start breathing for the first time. by @emzao
