Kicking my legs and giggling into my pillow after being on call with my crush for 90 minutes ✨☀️♥️ things are so uncertain and I feel so lucky to love them and be loved.

My year in a nutshell.

[charliebraincharliebrain]

This week feels like a reminder in how to be human is to be ever-evolving.

I feel my body keeping score as my birthday gets closer- the anniversary of my being separated from my birth mother.

I feel vulnerable, more so than usual. Fragile.

At thanksgiving, my adoptive mother commented on how I didn’t used to be this much of a hugger. I’d like to think I’d always wanted to be held and didn’t know how to ask for it.

I forget what the changing of the seasons feels like every year. The air is dry, my lips chap and my nose is stuffy. I feel my muscles throb and my joints flare after the most simple movements.

I am grounded first and foremost by place, then food, then people, touch, and routine.

U guys I’ve always been so good at making mashup songs, it was a real missed opportunity to not put me in the glee writers room, especially considering I was eleven years old

“You know what is crazy? I still wanna believe in all of this stuff. Even after everything that’s happened. Isn’t that sad?”

“Oh, no. I think that’s brave.”
