Which magic door can I walk through to leave behind the patriarchy. I am tired.

You never truly know a person until you've lived with them and that holds true for room mates. If you're lucky, soon enough they become your chosen family and the tight, cluttered room that holds you eventually feels a lot like home. I Illustrated my dorm and tried to make the ugly brick pillars look slightly better ☠️ . . . .

|The quiet intimacy of braiding someone's hair.| I've noticed in communal living like that of hostels, whether people are close or strangers to one another; help is just a word away.

There will always be someone willing to braid your hair, do your makeup, offer you medicine and sit with you in your pain. Life becomes interconnected in quiet ways.

There is quiet intimacy in these small gestures, in every knot there's a feeling that you are cared for and there are still good things left in the world.
