My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Ohio to see my family in June. This is causing some anxiety. In both of us.
For most of my life, I have both felt very close to and completely separate from my family. In many ways, I have made a new family out here in Oregon. Some part of me wants to mix those together. Some part of me wants to protect each of them by keeping them totally separate.

Today I went to Linework NW and discovered a few new artists (Haly Newlevant and Lisa Rosalie Eisenberg were the two standouts) and thought really hard about what I’m doing and where I want to go next.
