Happy! Happy! in WA

I spent the weekend outside of San Francisco & as I climbed the trees I thought of my adventurous friend. We used to build enchanted tiny worlds out of moss together. Remembering her today with a letter left way up in the sky.

Thoughts

I've been telling people of that version of Guess Who? you cut the pictures out of custom from the Busted newspapers from the corner stores fifteen years ago. I don't know what else to say I miss you so much

25th October 2024

If I only could I'd make a deal with god, and get him to swap our places.

Happy Birthday Amanda. Miss you every day!
