4:11 PM; lawn at Raintree

The first day this year that I sit on a blanket outside—not too hot yet. It’s been cold.

Last night I had a dream that I had a procedure to embody a Black woman’s body, and the thing I immediately missed most was my Latina body/identity. It surprised me in the dream.

Now it’s raining while the sun shines. No rainbow though.

I wish I could bring my hammock out here.

As always, it’s embarrassing to read old writing here. 2018 was a lifetime ago, but I was still adult-me—the same thinking me. Unfortunate. Then again, I don’t regret the traceable steps. Funny that I was asking questions about morality—”who am I, who are we really?”—before the mania.
