it’s been 5 yrs and I finally regret this shit
Hello small fry
I think it is going well. I move down to Athens and I work in a mobile library that goes round refugee camps.
I remember the hike you’re referring to - by myself down the river thames. I did it, my first one. My dad came for the day, and trickles of friends on other days. I spent time along. Whenever I got hot, I jumped in the river. It was frustrating and lonely and beauitful. I’m really glad I did it. Now I’m settling into a life that’s as fast moving as my last, it is nice to remember that pause, that breath.
Two of my best friends are going on a little trip together today. They’re the ones who first took me river swimming, who first got me to open up to long grass and walks and bike rides as forms of fun, as ways of being together. I miss them terribly and I’m happy they’re together, back in the tall grass.
Lots of love.
when kristin chang said godhood is just like girlhood: a begging to be believed or when laurie penny said it’s no surprise that so many women and girls have control issues around their bodies or when fiona apple said there’s no hope for women or when elana dykewomon said almost every woman i have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness or when carolyn gage said you can terrorize her with her own body and then she will torture herself or when angela carter said i often felt like a female impersonator or when leslie feinberg said i don’t feel like a man trapped in a woman’s body i just feel trapped
