[more] friday, love your life. what a great night to punctuate an otherwise intense week. shopping & dinner with my father. oh we chatted about all kinds of things. he tried to explain the art of football. i smiled curiously & tried to ask a few smart questions. he wasn’t fooled but he appreciated my willingness to engage is something that’s not on my radar. sort of like when he walked through sephora with me & sat patiently while i tried on winter coats. there was a size & color decision to be made. off & on a few times each & he even tugged at the back seam of the smaller size to make sure that i would have a enough room for an extra layer - just in case. like i said, we had fun. the sweet potato fries at the organic bistro in my hood. awesome as ever.

oh but what a difference a year makes. no really. this time last year was complicated. that’s the nice way of saying it sucked. & it’s wasn’t about why me. i knew why. & i knew that it would take a  year to unravel. i feel mostly unraveled. a bit vulnerable because there’s space in my head for newness & my heart for sharing & i’m not entirely sure what to do with this new found freedom. other than keep moving loving believing doing accepting wanting trying. everything starts with you. good night. xo
