 “she hates how much it rains, but it's raining all the time. she said, "i’d like to go home, i don't feel right in these clothes, and i might be losing my mind.”

they say that insanity is doing the same things over & over for a chance at different results, and maybe that’s true. but if it is, then why do we define hope the same way?


my tongue twists. i am wrong, as i am a lot of things these days. pretentious. aggressive. delicate like a bomb, not fine china; waiting for the right catalyst to make me explode. definitions are no longer my friend, if they ever were at all. they twist my tongue into foreign shapes. i used to understand words; knew how to use them. in the beginning, language was my friend. 


𝙝𝙀π™₯π™š, 𝙣𝙀π™ͺ𝙣: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. a feeling of trust. grounds for believing that something good may happen.


𝙝𝙀π™₯π™š, π™«π™šπ™§π™—: to want something to occur or be the case. intent, if possible, to do something.

i lived like that once. i used to believe in things. hope is the temporary kind of different.


“and i used to beg june to burn me alive, if that would get me anywhere but here.”


summer was never my season.

the voice after the tone sounds as if it hasn't spoken words it understands in a very long time. "h-hello? hello. i - gosh, nancy? is this you? i hope you've kept the same number, but it sure has been awhile. this is mark.. maria's husband. i was just.. well. i'm calling because.. i mean, of all people, you should know. it's.. she.. AHEM. maria has passed away. it was alzheimer's disease. dementia. i'm sorry. i hope this finds you well. i'm sorry." *click* apparently mark was never particularly good with words. not a thing like maria, who taught my grandmother how to fold and starch clothes in the basement of woolworth's department store. nanny's first week as a working woman was saved by her new friend's endless advice, her easy laughter, and her affinity for american hamburgers; a delicacy she had never seen in puerto rico. nanny found this endlessly amusing, mostly because she couldn't imagine having the money to orde...

a year in review from the journal archives: — “when you were in pre-k, nanny sent you off to school with brand new, bright pink boots and instructions to ‘kick that little shit, conrad, right in the shin’ with them if he were ever so bold as to bully me again.  from you, i learned to be the fire instead of just starting one.”

when i was nine years old, a boy at school pointed at my mustache and laughed. he followed me around the playground asking if my "real" parents got rid of me because they're actually monkeys. i went home with his laughter ringing in my ears, begging my mom to help me.  she said that if it would make me feel better, we could try to shave my face.  as my mother ran a razor over the tender shadows, she began the complicated process of molding the cruelty of others into some kind of teachable moment. it was a conversation that her research on adoption probably hadn't prepared her for. the unwritten chapter: what to do when your mixed race child becomes aware of their own ethnicity. "when a girl is white, it makes the hair on her lip almost invisible if it’s blond. see? it’s just.. different for you.” she points to her own pale face. i nod as she swipes a finger full of vaseline across my mouth. different, with hair just a little too dark for a mostl...
