This time is a magical interlude between the cheery doldrums of February and the icy days of January. All the beauty of the holidays is laced with longing to be with family and a quest for belonging. It’s a misnomer that identity equates with tradition and proximity to loved ones, but it’s certainly easier to know who you are when you are connected to those people, those things and those places. This February I am grateful for traditions, the love of friendship and a new home that offers safety and refuge from the deluge of life’s uncertainties. I am also grateful for this dumpling reunion with the sweetest girlfriend @jev_ who also mean ‘home’ to me. Can’t wait to spend March with you again! ✨❤️👵🏻🧓🏻
