This past year has been incredible. My life has opened up in ways I didn’t know were possible.
I’ve shared a lot of joy, but there has also been a lot of anger. I’m angry I had to wait nineteen years. I’m angry at skeptics. I’m angry at broken systems that continue to fail me. And I’m tired. Only a year ago into being fluent, I am facing burnout. Advocacy is exhausting.
Selfishly, I am shifting my focus on me. I am starting my novel, writing more poetry, starting college courses this fall, spending time with my family, prioritizing my joy.
So if it’s quieter in this space, that’s why.
Love, Luke
