A COLLECTION OF BRIEF REFLECTIONS
Becoming, belonging, boundaries, queer life, and the sacred usually hiding somewhere painfully ordinary.
WHY NOTES?
I collect things: little mantras, questions, a sentence that catches me off guard. A phrase arrives, and I grab my phone before it disappears. Later, I go back. Sometimes there’s something there. Sometimes there isn’t. The pieces that remain become these brief responses to everyday becoming.
I studied creative nonfiction writing as an undergraduate, and I loved how many ways there were to tell a story. I’ve also long loved Susan Sontag’s Notes on “Camp” and the possibilities of an aphorism. A thought doesn’t need to become an essay before it opens a door.
This is a little corner for that part of me: the part that notices, writes something down, and follows it to see where it goes.

Therapy can feel like a doorway into the unknown. Perhaps beginning is a form of daring greatly: arriving with the parts still deciding whether it’s safe and allowing ourselves to be known, one honest moment at a time.

Pay attention to whatever keeps tapping you on the shoulder. It might look ordinary. Look again.
