you start painting again, and i can see how happy it makes you. every evening when i come home there is something new; a portrait of our cat, a vase of flowers, a mountain skyline. you have paint smudged on the sides of your fingers almost every day, and i think, you have never been so beautiful.

With Fat Chance, a lesbian performing group. We used stories from our lives, we danced, swung on trapezes and moved in ways fat people aren’t often seen moving. (Berkeley, 1979)

we’re always planning for the future, but it’s happening now, too. every day is new, even when it doesn’t feel like it. we are learning each other even when we think we knew it all. we are not just growing, not just surviving. we are thriving. we are flourishing.

if you’re butch in public you’re showing kids what kind of woman they can be. you’re a marvel and an open door. you are something they might have thought was impossible. you are the proof little butch girls need that they can exist grown up and happy and handsome without changing a single thing

we get a dog together, our ever-flourishing family growing by one more. spring is coming and the sun thaws the ice beneath our skin. we go outside often, flowers bursting forth from the snow. things feel easier. we feel lighter. we take our pup with us everywhere, spoiling her like we will one day spoil our little girls. we are weaving our threads together, knitting ourselves closer and closer. i think, “how can tomorrow be any better than today?”, but it always is.
