Sometimes I wonder if I follow the world or if the world follows me. Synchronicity is a common thread in my life. Sometimes I start something in my own head and the next thing you know, it’s just out there and not only that but manifold, like that time I went deep inside myself, peeling…

Labels
I recently had a coversation with a friend about relationships, to which my friend discussed his disinclination of labels, which made me think about labels as it relates to language. Today, describing gender in our society has evolved in our language. We now have blanket terms like non-binary, which pretty much describes what I have…

He didn’t look well yesterday and his throat was hoarse, but he made it to the gardens anyways for the Lunar Year celebration. Mother said it was because he wanted to see us. I said it could also be because he didn’t want to waste the money. Mother said he didn’t pay because he was…

They buried her on her 17th birthday. Her death comes after the death of Mahsa Amini who,…

Another visit from the reaper
My uncle passed away the day we buried my grandmother, a year after his twin passed away. They were both amazing people who lived incredible lives. My aunt, the twin, was a carpenter and built their homes, one in Long Island and another in Connecticut. Both were born female, but one lived as a lesbian…

Remember Me?
When I die I wonder how much of an imprint I would leave in this world. My grandmother’s funeral is on Monday and I wonder who will be there. I’m not very popular and am lucky if I get any likes from any posts. I doubt many people will even notice if I just disappear.…
