"It's funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, 'I want to go home.' But then you come home, and of course it's not the same. You can't live with it, you can't live away from it. And it seems like from then on there's always this yearning for some place that doesn't exist." - Danzy Senna


I sink into my sadness—

an anchor to ocean—

let it still me,

ground me,

hold me.

Better ocean than storm.

Better sadness than anger.
