to be present, be lonely, be open, be awkward, be blank, be hungry, be safe, be grey, be free, be rich, be angry, be lost, be vulnerable, be impatient, be confused, be happy - to be alive.

​

I often feel misunderstood: queer in comparison to most.

​

I left my family in Louisiana to find my start in Atlanta, my ground in New York City, betrayal in Chicago, illness & alienation in Los Angeles, boredom in Nashville, heartbreak in Florida, healing back in Chicago.

 

I struggle with, but embrace, my own sense of being - as I am.
