sycamore tree by khamari, c’est si bon by eartha kitt, deep in your soul by alan vuong, and love me or leave me by nina simone have been on repeat for me.

it’s treating me well! i love the beach and the views we get from both okaeri and zuzu and i’s home. it’s been a warm welcome.

my little zuzu (imagine a dreamy sigh) my best friend, my lucky charm, my home. she’s the the only reason that made settling down somewhere seem less intimidating. the only one that knows me inside and out, holds the weight of my secrets that feel too heavy. she’s a ray of sunshine i want to bottle up and keep with me forever. (we also birthed okaeri together and i couldn’t be more thankful. i’m planning to buy her a piano for the house one day so she can play me pieces to fall asleep to.)
