Always in denim, always with mask, and always tending to inner child. As a NY’er I grew up scared of bugs like flying water bugs in the elevator or weird bugs in the train station. Don’t get me started with fear of bed bugs. NY’ers are always made fun of by non-NY’ers because our apprehension with nature. To be honest I run and scream in the sight of bugs even of bees. Growing up in low income housing sometimes makes you not want to be near any bugs. Also access to open space and nature was limited, often parks were unkept, and you not trying to go upstate where certain white folks live. Being removed from nature impacts your relationship with it. I also remember childhood memories of when I was in Ecuador and walking around in el campo making crowns of white cloves and rolling on hills. Fierce tiny human with shoes covered in mud and grass stains on knee area of my pants. Not sure about doing all of that now but leaning towards that inner child being familiar and comfortable in nature. So now, being in LA and having some access to beaches and ocean and forest has me reconciling with my fear of bugs and other nature creatures. Here I am in my 30’s learning to enjoy nature, sit on grass, stare at bugs, not run from grasshoppers. Has made all the difference during this pandemic, has made all the difference for my mental health. #papifemme #nature #artist #poet #qtpoc #queer #nonbinary ID: brown non-binary person with black hair ( bowl cut) wears all denim and white turtle shirt and white sneakers.
