watch out she's gonna quote warsan shire once again...

"the year of letting go, of understanding loss. grace. of the word ‘no’ and also being able to say ‘you are not kind’. the year of humanity/humility. when the whole world couldn’t get out of bed. everyone i’ve met this year, says the same thing ‘you are so easy to be around, how do you do that?’. the year i broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands. the year i learnt small talk. and how to smile at strangers. the year i understood that i am my best when i reach out and ask ‘do you want to be my friend?’. the year of sugar, everywhere. softness. sweetness. honey honey. the year of being alone, and learning how much i like it. the year of hugging people i don’t know, because i want to know them. the year i made peace and love, right here."

portland inevitably tore me apart. i didn't notice, because i just kept going. i found love and community that is always in my heart, but after 8 years... my soul was quietly yearning for more. @chonnyjang and i planned a move in spring, and as our love evolved, we chose a snow storm.

i am once again full of hope and adventure. and if you ever feel stiffled, remember there is more, everywhere, so don't hold back. 🖤🖤🖤
