I'm sitting in a lobby, waiting for a coffee date, wanting to cry except there are no tears because damn stoicism and I'm just so moved and feel so seen even though my real dead people - at least the most recent - are my dearest friend and her dog who lived with us the two months between when she died and when he died a few days ago.

All of which is a very long way to say: thank you for writing 💜

You went to Ojo! The big pool is my favorite spot too. I went there with Kiki two or three times, it was one of our favorite places and our big fancy splurge to stay overnight there. I always stressed a bit over spending the money and then always said fuck it. Thank god I did.

It hurt to go back there alone this year. But I had to. I'm sure you know what that feels like. I feel like the hurt is the price for feeling close to her in those places.

I also never used to think about the afterlife and now I do all the time. I'm kind of excited to find out what happens.

Hoeing in the Afterlife. A good title for a book or an album.
