"then you hold life like a face/
between your palms, a plain
face,/ no charming smile, no
violet eyes,/ and you say, yes,
i will take you/ i will love you,
again."

hello ! i hope everyone reading
has had a lovely day so far. thank
you for sitting down and picking
through this spam like word pile.

as of right now, this is going to be
a collection of prose essays where
i examine and collect my thoughts
on myself, modern day feminism,
trauma i've experienced, and what
it's like being apart of the lgbt+ co-
mmunity both for myself and for
others.

i am a bisexual nonbinary woman-
i know: how impossible and unique-
ly gen z of me to say. let me start off
by saying it's okay if you don't under-
   stand my language and the "new
   terms" i use- you're not the first one.
   but please- do not assume this means
i'm just a straight cis girl who wants
   to be quirky and cool. i was born fe-
male, which means i am constantly
   at war with my fluidity of gender and
   the way my assigned sex is portrayed
   to me. i will be referring to myself as
both man and woman- sorry for any
   cisnormative confusion. i feel as tho-
ugh i do not have to explain why i
   use the terms i do, but that is the whole
point of this collection. if you are
interested in what feminism means
   to me, and how i think it should pro-
ceed, then please, join me ! i will be
diving into all angles of how to be
human during this current point of
   time and why it is important to under-
stand yourself when everything is
politicized.

i hope everyone enjoys this ! please
feel free to comment your thoughts,
and to interact with other people. i
love feedback and seeing people dis-
cuss topics with each other outside of
me. do not be scared to ask questions
or comment topic ideas for me to write
about !

ps. i am white and american so please
let me know if you have any concerns
with the things i say- a.k.a : if i ever am
racist, call me out
