Felt😭

Imma reach out to all my family overseas we gotta link up pronto this is URGENT

I just had an epiphany, what if the real Cousin bbq supposed to be in Fiji 😭

Grief has a way of making me feel like I’m drowning fighting the waves but when I let go, the waves of their love, they carry me

I was thinking of my bestie who passed two years ago and she used to host Cousin Bbq and all our cousins even Pacific Islanders in the community would show up it was like an annual huge tradition and we haven’t had one since she passed, some people depart this world and leave a huge crater

I’m so grateful I can cry tho, being able to release all of these emotions allows me to show up for my loved ones and life Sigh

I’ve been ugly crying and sobbing for hours ruminating about my life and the world and missing my parents and unpacking my Pasifika diaspora Lawd

I wish I could heal everyone by the snap of my fingers or accelerate the process and dismantle everything in my lifetime😭

😮‍💨

They really gotta stop gaslighting Elmo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Exactly why do we have the language & cultural prestige for everything that has been demonized and thrown back at our faces?! I believe this to be true for many/all indigenous spaces

When learned behavior becomes entangled with core beliefs. This whole dichotomy is so devastating in Pacific spaces. It always results in our people abandoning their humanity, in exchange for conservative colonial settler values that even colonisers don't subscribe to any more.

I hope when I pass away, all of the love that is ever abundant within me, passes into the soil. I want the Earth to know how much love there is in me, for itself and all of its creations. I hope it spreads with the waves, can be heard when winds speak, and will be felt when the sun shines.

I should write a short story about water wars this year so people can say I was a prophet in 50 years

I hope if there’s a heavenly afterlife or whatever, they play “Ride On Time” by Tatsuro Yamashita, when my soul leaves my body.

People’s electric bills are tripling and quadrupling because of data centers. We can’t buy RAM or Hard Drives because of data centers. Black communities are suffocating in generator exhaust because of data centers. And OpenAI is raising $100 BILLION in venture capital to accelerate it all.

I have nieces and nephews in their 50s and 60s who have some unlearning to do even…I’m not playing around and hope the descendants will remember what I stood for and my love

And as the last Matriarch of my dads lineage I’m decolonizing my mind and bringing inclusivity as an example to the village and for everyone to feel safe and loved

I’m grateful for my role as Aunty even internationally because I’m protecting everyone from learned hate & traditional bs abroad, you are welcomed and loved here

Homophobia is learned, it’s unnatural

I can’t believe people are just born and thrown into a world full of disappointment and hatred and I just pray and hope they find chosen family and can find love somehow someway

And missing my parents so badly I’m reminded not everyone even has an opportunity to be loved properly by ANYONE in their lives and it makes me cry😭

So much of my identity is wrapped around my parents love for me so when I see other people rejected by their parents That shit hurts my soul so deeply I can’t help but wail 😭

Nobody should feel rejected for simply existing and being authentic

Homophobic people shouldn’t be having kids

There has always been gay people and trans people in every culture every nation worldwide it makes me sick to see people unaccepted

Why is this world so ass backwards? 😭💔

That's what I'm talking bout 🗣

Fuck fascism let’s wrestle in the bushes where no one can see us out in nature 😩

The Hills has been looking so beautiful and green. I really wanna have outdoor sex.😭💚

There are artists grants at the state level (that pay well), but they are so limited, run in cycles, and are tough to obtain (ask me how I know lol) A state funded program to provide a steady income for artists would be great in the US, but we are doing everything to devalue art as a whole here

Every time I check the bio of someone who is posting some heinous shit, I see “God first” or “God fearing” Like big fella you’re going to hell if you continue posting like that lmaoo

“God first” or “Disciple of Jesus” in the bio automatically makes me not wanna follow Cos my abuser was an abusive Christian who used Jesus to shield him from his crimes against me and other women, and even I come from a religious background 😭

I want to see everyone be a lover and get a lover in 2026.

It will take the rest of my life to recover which is the wild part about all of this and makes me feel existentially trapped

Sometimes I feel like a butterfly whose wings got crushed but I’m still walking

My brother passed in in 2019 then another brother passed in 2020 then the pandemic started then my momma passed in 2022 then my bestie passed in 2023 (and she was in close proximity to me always dropping by esp after my mom passed😭) I just feel like I’ve gotten no breaks a lot of us haven’t

My comfort level >>> everything else in life

My bestie knows me lmfao she sent me this:

I’m still doing this. We just have to decide WHERE. I say Malaga

i dont even come close to expressing my full beliefs online — as nuanced (& contrived!) as my view of the world is, it would take multiple days of criss-crossing posts to properly navigate my beliefs. & then for what purpose? my beliefs arent superior... & i have no desire to out-prove my existence.

I blocked somebody who called me an internet leftist, I'm not an internet leftist, I'm a real person who lives in the real world & holds the same beliefs all the time & I got these beliefs over the course of a long political education offline! Why do they think views only exist online!

I want to live a life that makes horrible people angry.

Earlier someone was talking about their momma on TV & I just started wailing thinking of my momma 😭 then next minute crying over my gratitude for water

I be bursting out crying at things that bring me joy and at my grief I really feel like a clown 🤡 😭

Be a whore ride a horse (you know exactly what the fuck I mean) Every time I write whore it autocorrects it to white🤣🤣🤣🤣exactly

My client she can actually pronounce my name clearly now I wanna cry😩🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Boff

It’s year of the Whores I mean Horse 😌😏
