sam- i feel as though i can chew the words you’ve written. the stories you write are so visceral, i can picture and feel what you write. i’m in the car with you and my throat is tight as we pass the places of our past lives. everything you write here always gets me feeling. thank you for sharing your words.

i’ve always thought that healing was radical, especially in the way that angela davis uses the word radical: “grasping at the root.” but goddamn, i’m so tired of grasping. it’s exhausting to feel so dysregulated all the time. it always makes me feel a little less alone to read words by other folks who cannot regulate at all, though i hate it for you (and me, and us)
