and found it:

my beautiful city

& found my new favorite spot in the city

looking at architectural details.

"the change I want is to hear peace and quiet.
i don't want to hear shootings anymore."

this is my commute view:

ferry building, coit tower, angel island, alcatraz,

and a tiny golden gate bridge in the distance.

thank you for driving in the traffic + rain for 2 hours,

thank you for the lovely pink flowers,

thank you for the hand-made picture frame,

thank you for the thoughtful cards, tickets, soy candle,

thank you for joining me.

thank you my beautiful friends

for making my night the most

magical, special, and emotional

birthday i've ever had.

 there is no better way i would have

wanted to spend my 26th birthday.

vegetarian rainbow chard

& sprout quesadillas!

i claim responsibility for getting my roommates

hooked onto jigsaw puzzles:

"lindaaaaaaa"

i turn around and see x-tina standing there.

of course we would both be at j crew

on a rainy day after work, both deshoveled,

and trying on stuff we both can't afford.

 i hope you bought that floral velvet vest.

a while back, we miraculously got a table
at NOPA, and celebrated being alive,
with lamb olive pasta + roe avocado toast 

dreaming of vines, tiles, squash blossoms,

and the sea the sea the sea.

have you ever seen a cloud atlas so perfect?

"you're a sweet little puppy,

so so sweet,

so so sweet."

lounging in the gardens

my beautiful friends

i meet the most extraordinary people

in the most mundane and unexpected places.
