What a beautiful face I have found in this place that is circling all round the sun. What a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen in a blink of an eye and be gone from me. Let me hold it close and keep it here with me. And one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea. But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and LIST every beautiful thing we see.

autobio (feel lucky to have grown up)

in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 00s
in the same house, watching the same kids and families grow older around me
in the suburbs, then later finding life in a big city
without cell phones, social media, or the constant surveillance of recording culture
with great music, decade by decade, heard in intimate venues before the mainstream flooded it all via social media
with parties and club scenes full of people who felt authentic––not mirroring identities copied from social media
without streaming pulling everyone away from books and art
with work that required time and effort, instead of everything at my fingertips, which might have left me more entitled and depressed
forming my own identity within my community, instead of being shaped by strangers
with an immigrant mom who shaped my perspective
with a father who survived two wars and showed me the emotional toll
with love and friendship
with the opportunity to educate my brain and search for spiritual understanding
without the 24/7 news cycle
