maybe everything that dies someday comes back
the only thing that is certain lately is that life can get more hectic. and it's not ever entirely bad or good. there have been intense lows, highs and everything in between. school is wrapping up this thursday and then summer!!! i've been so scattered but working on things a lot. i finished a chapbook of poetry(it was a final, but important to me nonetheless) two weeks ago, i've danced in a few performances and am working on one of my own, maybe even to debut at one of the conferences i'm going to in the coming months(sweaty southern radical queer and trans convergence, sexy spring, etc.). this semester felt really productive and i feel like i'm finally okay with being in school. i'm half way done too! lots of it has to do with finally meeting up with people and communities here+starting to grow tiny roots with them. even with my school community. there's a lot i feel like i missed out on this semester too because i have to really focus on my class work in order feel decent about it. i think that's another reason i've always had a lot of animosity towards mills. it's not easy at all for me. there's a ton of reading, really demanding class discussions where i feel intimidated, and structurally it's just not the way i learn best. all on top of the huge challenge to be in the same place consistently and be happy. there's so much more i could say about school and what i've ben up to but if you want to know ask me in person or in a letter or something.
and i've been busy with other stuff besides school!
-i'm part of the Bay Area Radical Mental Health Collective and am facilitating a workshop on nutrition on may 17 @ the long haul( if you have any resources please let me know). or come! more info soon.
-i've been dialoging about immigrant rights a lot and going to protests. the may 1st strike saw 100,000 people in SF!
-a couple of my relationships have felt really injured lately but we've been trying to work on stuff too. also i'm trying to accept that a very close friend may be deciding to leave my life. i've been really sad about that lately, it's been kind of like heartbreak.
-i went to santa cruz for my friend alette's birthday thurs-sat and rode bikes with liz to the boardwalk. then we laid in the sand while i blew innulerable amounts of snot into my snot rag. it was really awewome to meet a bunch of rad kids in sc.
-i just planted lemon balm. i'm fucking excited.
anyway, there's so much more but that's all i can give right now. i hope all you beautiful kids are doing well. i wish we had more humanistic interactions for all of us. hopefully soon.
love,
legs.
