this year is going to be dope! working part time at greater boston legal services asian outreach unit with some cool folks- doing intake at CPA every monday- taking some cool classes- living in an apartment i like- yay!
this summer was awesome too- met lots of cool people, working at NDS was an amazing experience- i got lots out of it, including some motivation for law school-
here are things i wrote this summer while i was in nyc:
--
east village, 3am
everything is unreal and unknowable
alone in the fantastic world
--
2am taking the train from B'way/Nassau/Fulton
Amanda and Michelle were/are lovely, amazing human beings
most people on the train are half-asleep
the train starts to become crowded around 34th
a slightly silly looking man gives a bouquet
to a slightly silly looking woman
someone says that "'shotgun' means
you're the first who gets to use the bathroom"
i love those moods when thoughts slip through fingers
like juice from sliced watermelon
all people appear in their totality
and travelling underground is a miracle.
If only the world was this perfect all the time.
If only I could feel this perfect all the time.

patriarchy, racism, classism: it is difficult to curb our tendencies- but some of our tendencies are not good things-
we expect others to curbs theirs so we must abide by the same standards- otherwise we're just holding things back
