✨Weekend vibes. ✨While in conversation with friends, and other artists and cultural workers something that keeps coming up is how we are prioritizing showing up for ourselves in the most tender and gentle and kind ways. I think there is something beautiful seeing and witnessing many folks tending to their inner child, and the ways we are doing things for pure pleasure and joy. I’m here for the roller skating, pod casts, yummy food making, the naps, the baths, and the switching up eyeliners. I’m here for the white boots, and the plant growing, the dog caring, and the bindge watching of Yellowjackets. I’m here for us sleeping and crying and washing our hair and getting our nails done. I’m here for the boundary setting and the long phone calls and FaceTime catch ups with laughter- all the gentle things. I’m here for us celebrating the minor and big and silly things. The anthology I’ve been co-editing will soon have a cover reveal and I’ve been so anxious. Today I told my therapist how secretly I am nervous that the book won’t be perfect. I’ve never co-edited or worked with such big publisher. Through out this journey it has been scary and sometimes lonely and hard. She reminded me that I am doing the best I can. And she reminded me to center the joyful moments of this book process. And there has been so much joy working with the writers and poets and visual artist. Ive gotten to know and get familiar with our contributors, and what an honor it has been to intimately learn about their journey. Who would have though this migrant poet from Harlem would be editing something this big and bring in so many badass #Queer #Trans #nonbinary creatives. So I’m going to be gentle with myself and celebrate this book and celebrate myself, celebrate our community and push away the anxiety!! These are moments of celebrations!! ✨ cheers to weekend vibes and making gentleness a habit!! #artist #poet #migrant #qtpoc #lgbtq #papifemme #undocumented (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZDTDPGPdwq/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
