Walks around my work neighborhood. That reflection is pretty cool in these skyscrapers. Maybe I’m alone in this but the buildings are not that exciting. 🤷 @salesforce #skyscrapers #wolfpointplaza #glazing #chicago #chicagoriver #rivernorth #tech #commercialdesign #salesforce #glass Do they all have the same finishes too? 🤌🤌🤌 (at Downtown On The Chicago River) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpykupXDP_H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chicago River

[girlpocalypse]

I found a man in the Chicago River while volunteering at a family Pride event on June 17th. Here is what I remember:

Hoping he was a mannequin, or a fallen tree. Clinging to that idea like the lifesaver he never got. Turning away so I didn't have to see his face.

My nervous system, annoyingly waiting for this kind of day to shine. Adrenaline’s cool, calm, clarity on the phone with 911; notifying the Salt Shed staff; warning everyone in the vicinity what they were about to see; giving a statement to emergency services.

That ADHD superpower of being infallible in a crisis quickly fading when I saw a body bag whisked away by people in scuba gear. Breaking down, held by my loved ones, standing under a banner that cruelly read: “Queer Without Fear.”

The push notification I got later that night with an article confirming his identity, as if I were just an unaffiliated, concerned Chicagoan: Noah Enos, 26. Missing after the King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard concert.

I can't seem to stop raining tears for him. They splash in my glorified kiddie pool of a backyard hot tub; hide in the spray of the shower; well in my eyes over the glass of water I've been lovingly reminded to drink.

Unraveling in the aftermath. Finding myself, over and over again, standing at the edge of Lake Michigan.

This place has always been the perfect vessel for me to pour in what doesn’t fit inside of me. The waves churn with eleven years of my secrets and overgrown feelings. The water bubbles with the dreams I left here for safe-keeping. Where did Noah’s secrets and dreams go when he died? I wonder if they’re here, swimming around with mine.

Though I never met Noah, our lives will be forever linked. Where our stories meet, mine continues and his ends. What happened to him is random and unfair and I cannot make sense of it.

My tide rises, from my legs up to the lump in my throat, filling me to the brim. If I take on more water, I might drown, too. When I can't hold it all anymore, I have to let the excess wash away at the lakeshore.

So, I let my saltiest tears fall into the very body of fresh water where Noah lost his life; somehow still beautiful and magical as ever.

Chicago river and architectural tour 2011. This is a must do when in Chicago. You feel like you are in another world on water, with a back drop of gorgeous buildings and a green belt along the river. The NYC water tours are insane, because it is New York...But Chicago has a more elegant, cleaner feel along its main river here.  Nicest people, best food and the Bulls! I must also add that NYC does have many nice people as well.
