Family

It's been a long rough road, and I know it's nowhere near the end, but I am healing the divide with my family.

It's taken me these three years to realise that the relationships--no mater how strained--are important and crucial to my survival. I've learnt so much while living in this alternate reality known as the Pacific Northwest, but I think it was the place I needed to be in order to learn these lessons.

To have the room to grow and develop my Self.

To have the space and time to learn how to listen to my Heart and what it tells me.

To feel the ache of longing when I can't hug my sisters or see my cousin's smile or hear my gramma's laugh.

This is the place I needed to be.
