I wonder if my seeds will find purchase in your soil

About a mile past the bridge, my throat creaked, and something broke, and tears fled down my face.

Every highway exit closer to the border was like a stich sewn into my chest, black thread spun by the rolling tyres of the bus, that closed my heart back up, and kept anything else from spilling out.

I can't remember the last time I cried. Maybe when someone died. I don't actually know.

Living in Vancouver is stifling. My Seattle is a glorious place full of people who love me, who I love back, where there's no restraints to how nice we can be, how clever and together and strong. I don't have a community like that here, where I am. I've never had one like that anywhere.

I can't afford a ticket for awhile, or else I would. The soonest I can make it is maybe October.

Actually, scratch that. I might be back the first weekend in September. You around then?

A sizable percentage of the population of Rowe Mesa, New Mexico loves you too. Really really lots.

Living in Vancouver isn't stifling. Being where you live is stifling - because you have to live there. Being somewhere you don't live is invigorating - but if you like a place you don't want to spoil it by living there.

I've been happier everywhere else I've ever lived, actually, except for when I got stuck in the flooding down in L.A.
