right now
this cup of coffee. this l.a. weather. the windows open. the front door wide open. the sun in my apartment. the sense of peace that comes with resolve and resolution. writing a poem i’m happy with. being inspired to write more. lalah hathaway on my spotify. the knowledge that even in adversity, still i rise.

today was a good day
brunch with my siblings followed by shopping with my sister; home for a brief break and a shower and then out with my peeps - dinner and drinks followed by fellowship and drinks at my sister’s. also, the Laker game. We lost, but we are still the kings.
