    "Like, even though we only started working together for the last few months, to be able to like, make sense of all that's going on with a focus on trying to be more compassionate to myself, which I'm the first to admit, it's always. It's a difficult thing, difficult thing to do most of the time. Thankful for all the friends and family that are in my life."

    "So this particular poem, this isn't even the original right of the piece, I guess with the fact that there was a bit of a time lapse between sitting on the train from Chamon to Paris and now that I took a look at what I wrote and modified it to the PCC that I just read. But the sentiment's the same. It was the morning of September 29th. It was the day. It was our departure day for the residency after 14 days together."

In addition to trying to write a short story, I wrote a. I set myself up for a secondary challenge of writing a poem every day that I. Every day that I was at the residency."

Like he comes out in brief spurts and then he's gone not long after the moment is done where I tried to find some degree of balance between that person and the side of me that has to be a bit more pragmatic and like realistic about the world."

    "Past traumas fuel the present actions and the far fetched idea in my mind a sign that I'm trying to fight. Life isn't meant to be lived with ease. So I wrote that the poem was written on Tuesday morning, but its origins go back to Friday evening. I at least for this month I been going to a tangamalanga at Hudson River Park. It was the second time around as the first time went so well that I kept I would not let that happy moment go."

So, yeah, I do feel pride in my disability."

    "It was the last full day of a 14 day trip around Greece with the islands of Crete and Santorini on the itinerary as well. Essentially, the day was at leisure, except for those that signed up to join the trip's only optional excursion, the catamaran cruise around the island Santorini. When the trip was initially booked, there was no way I was not gonna leave this trip. This trip off the booking. I didn't even have to give it a second thought."

    "As in, there's going to be contacts, emotions, emotions, felt physical and physical contact over the course of the evening. They make it clear as day that everything's given with consent and that you will feel discomfort at various points during the evening. Which I did because I was not used to being. Not used to holding eye gazes or letting someone touch my heart or even the extended hug. Wasn't really used to all that."
