writing this piece coincided with a moment in my life where waiting has been the sole intention of my everyday.
I haven't seen my parents for a very long time due to the political climate and have reached a surreal point in my life i which my every day is filled with waiting. the waiting has brought a sense of immobility and stuckness accompanied with anger.
this waiting no longer contains a peaceful negative space but a sense of overflowing emotions with numbness.
