“I am tired and in love!” The first words shared between Chris and I on a moody summer day by the sea.

A kindred romantic, Chris’s inspired Caroline and I from the start.

“ I want my queerness to be soft and gentle. I am tired of fighting for my place in this world. I am owed slow mornings, delicate sunsets, and warm hands. I am more than the exotification of my race. I am more than the hyper sexualization. I cheers my cup to the delicate-ness I aim for in life. And I cheers my cup to those who champion my rest.”
