"there would always be more and more to miss" ❤️‍🩹 The kind of writing I live for—no taking sides between happiness and sadness, no grand revelations of outcomes. Just portraying life as it is, with all its complex movements, where endings are continuations. Thank you.

I also left home and I feel comforted knowing someone out there knows exactly how I feel from having almost the same emotional experiences. From the generosity of my parents. To never really coming back to what I have. Everything else transforming back home. Time passing. This is the 3rd time I've read this this week ❣️

stacey! it’s like you take the thoughts floating around my brain and make them make a lot more sense. last year i cried about my cat that died 5 years ago. it wasn’t about the cat, but it also was :’)

This line, 'I felt so lucky to be a window passing through', brought me back to your incredible 'I want to be a window' poem. It's so special to see little motifs like this emerging in you work.

I also love the setimentality you bring to your writing. It breaks my heart a little every time. The 'california' poem really made me cry, I took that one personally.

Thanks for continuing to share :)
