That is me


I am from lacrosse sidelines and fields, 
from alpine skis and Nike clothing.
am from the City of Bridges
the chill, hippy city with lush green forests.
am from big cedars and ivy.
I am from the leafy green vine that grows on every tree, fence and brick building.
I am from big family christmases and loud voices, 
from elliott to jaqua and pierson to brown 
I'm from the always late to everything and overfilling the weekends.
From "do as I say and not as I do" and "coconut oil makes you big and strong."
I'm from Portland, Oregon 
I'm from kumbucha and sparkling water and from freshly ground peanut butter
from talking to everyone you see. And my mom the photographer's overflowing boxes of pictures that capture everything from smiles to droppeed ice cream.
Thats where I am from.

     If you are a woman, you should stand up for yourself and speak your mind about what you feel comfortable with. Speak about inequality so that you can live your life and not the life other men want you to live.
      
  • Moment


    When I connected after four years
    knowing 
    they had stayed with me 
     now I know they are a true friend.
    that they will never let go
    it all happened because of the virus.
     Now they will be with me forever.
