I can't remember feeling little, and I'm in desperate need of a label, a definition beyond my name, the years I've lived or gender. a discussion- with whoever I was in the moment- about the not knowing how to exist without observing the fact that I do. And obsessing over it, my own existence- call it narcissism, call it pathetic, call it sleep deprivation.

I left everything I knew, it's not as aesthetic as running off to Europe in your 20s and the beautiful Instagram reels that come along- it's pretty magnificent though, to see myself outside everything I thought defined me, but also quite lonely. Here is my renaissance- summarised. I will talk to you more often now (or not, you never know).
