Woke up at 1:30pm in Laos after a night eating sticky rice with my trans lover’s family, learning dirty Lao jokes, riding dark backroads, and questioning why I still feel guilt for resting when my life is working.

Maybe healing isn’t discipline. Maybe it’s safety, slowness, and letting go.
I’m not pushing anymore. I’m thriving.

Ocular Glitches is a series of smaller weaves with distinctive patterns. I have this like for glitches. I'm sure this is partly because of my trans background, the forming of me had its glitches. I already liked visual or audible errors in digital media, but now I also learned to embrace and love my own glitches. So it keeps wanting to come back in my weaves!

They are for sale in my webshop 😅

Seventeen years ago, I thought I was in a cis-hetero relationship, trying to fit into the norms everyone around me expected. I wore the gender roles others gave me and performed a script that never felt like mine.

Today, I’m a trans girl in a loving, joyful lesbian relationship. My little one is queer, and during this Pride Month, all their closest friends have come out too.

This weekend, we celebrated my little one’s birthday in Capitol Hill—Seattle’s gayest neighborhood. Pride flags were everywhere, queer people surrounded us, and I felt such a sense of safety, belonging, and celebration. In our group of eight, only two were not queer—and for that moment, I wasn’t the odd one out. I felt the joy of being part of a majority—a community that embraced me just as I am.

I am so grateful to see my little one with like-minded friends, living free of the judgment and rejection I faced when I was young.

Happy Pride, fam! Let’s celebrate who we are, together. 🌈✨
