Julia

“For a few seconds, I remembered that the most abusive parts of our nation obsessively neglect yesterday while peddling in possibility. I remembered that we got here by refusing to honestly remember together. I remembered that it was easier to promise than it was to reckon or change. But I wanted to continue feeling delivered. I wanted to continue feeling fantastic. I wanted t continue feeling free. And I wanted to feel loved by both of us again. "I promise," I slowly texted. "We have come too far to turn back. I promise. We have come way too far to turn back.”
