peek a boo

i am the girl who stayed hidden too long during a game of hide and seek. i crawl out from my hidingplace now; only to find the game has already evaporated.

i was telling you a story, but i hid because i did something that felt so big for me, yet sounded so small. i stood up to my sister. i put my chin up with her for the first time ever and said that my being adopted didn't trump me within this family at every significant moment. it felt earth shattering. but i couldn't find a way to tell you. hence, the hiding.

i have had enormous money worries lately. i've broken down and bawled. no howled. like a baby because i can't make it stretch far enough right now.

yet i've also had amazing, dream-to-life news. i've been unanimously voted into an artists collective housed on the third floor of an incredible old church, egyptian rivival, right in the heart of downtown. each person i've met there has been gentle and easy and heartwarming. and it feels like something i've waited upon for a very, very long time.

i love you.
