My alone feels so good,
I'll only have you
if you're sweeter than my solitude.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat

but
the quality of the people
you are loving.

Don't assume, ask.
Be kind.
Tell the truth.
Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully.
Have integrity.
Tell people how you feel.

You can't go wrong with Baldwin.

Local woman wakes up, gets anyone who’s ever complained about refugees to read and understand the poem Home by Warsan Shire and then share with others they hear complaining about refugees, makes oatmeal.

The past and the future merge
to meet us here.
What luck.
What a fucking curse.

make love
like you have no
secrets
like you’ve
never been
left
never been
hurt
like the world
don’t owe you a
single
wretched
thing.

At the end of the day,
it isn’t where I came from.
Maybe home is somewhere
I’m going
and
never have been before.
