The number of women taken from their communities is staggering.
In my life I'm venturing more into my queer self as it concerns daily presentation
of self. Through clothing that drapes over shoulders and tightly accents neck lines
And face colours defying workplace norms. I am also learning of individual histories
From Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore to Janet Mock, their compelling experiences
as women and non conforming women are power to this young queer.

Winter is here and grey grey grey. Better than years past and still heavy as I walk.
Biking is easier with new additions that keep the wet off my back. Work is still hole
and the food along with it.
My partner. The phrase I've been using to signify seven months has also brought struggle
And clarity. I feel full as myself and am able to pour into another. This is the opposite of regressive.
This has helped, dare I say he has been restorative.
